Portland Leads in Green Stormwater Infrastructure to Combat Runoff and Improve Water Quality

Portland Leads in Green Stormwater Infrastructure to Combat Runoff and Improve Water Quality

Portland, Oregon, has established itself as a national leader in implementing green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) to manage rainwater runoff. The city's approach integrates natural elements such as rain gardens, ecoroofs, and soil filtration systems to reduce the volume of stormwater entering its combined sewer system. This initiative is a direct response to a 1991 mandate from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, which set a 20-year deadline for Portland to significantly decrease combined sewer overflows. The city's GSI efforts have resulted in a 35% reduction in stormwater volume directed to the combined sewer and the removal of 1.2 billion gallons of stormwater annually through over 56,000 disconnected downspouts. Approximately 40 green street installations are added each year, and property owners can receive up to a 35% discount on their stormwater utility bills through the Clean River Rewards program for maintaining GSI features.

Mount Kanlaon Erupts in Philippines, Spewing Ash Plume

Mount Kanlaon Erupts in Philippines, Spewing Ash Plume

Mount Kanlaon volcano in the central Philippines, specifically on Negros Island, experienced a moderately explosive eruption yesterday at 12:46 PM local time. The eruption, which lasted approximately two minutes, generated a significant ash plume that rose between 5 to 6 kilometers above the volcano's crater. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reported this event and indicated that the ashfall is expected to drift towards the north and northeast. Following the eruption, Alert Level 2 remains in effect for Mount Kanlaon, with Level 5 being the highest on the scale. The Philippines is situated within the Pacific 'Ring of Fire,' a region known for its high susceptibility to both earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
