Hal Sprague, Water Policy Manager for the Center for Neighborhood Technology in Chicago, will give a lecture today at 3:40 pm in Engineering One titled “G.I. Implementation: Overcoming Obstacles.”  He will discuss unexpected delays and obstacles to the full implementation of green infrastructure programs. This interactive session will give the audience the opportunity to anticipate the outcomes of the scenarios presented during the lecture and offer suggestions on how to avoid them.

The Urban Water Systems lecture series, co-hosted by College of Architecture Studio Assistant Professor Mary Pat Mattson and Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Associate Professor Paul Anderson, offers a series of seminar-style discussions focused on storm water green infrastructure issues in Chicago. The lectures and discussions are open to everyone.
