Increased urban development and a changing climate have led to heavier rainfall events. Cities are turning to more sustainable drainage techniques. Developed at Autodesk Labs, Green Stormwater Infrastructure enables rapid design and analysis of sustainable stormwater projects in an interactive 3D environment. The software combines the sketching and modeling capabilities of Autodesk InfraWorks with a dashboard full of hydrologic metrics that automatically update with each design change. Currently available as a technology preview, the software can be downloaded from Autodesk’s website. (Registration required)
