San Antonio Climate Ready: A “Water Sponge/Carbon Sink” City

This white paper discusses the use of green spaces for soil water storage and carbon sequestration within San Antonio, Texas. When managed appropriately, these areas can be used as a mitigation strategy to assist the city in reaching its water and air quality goals by transforming into a “Water Sponge/Carbon Sink City”. Additionally, this paper will discuss the economic benefits of utilizing Green Infrastructure (Nature-based)/Low Impact Development (GI/LID) to not only increase the soil water and carbon storage rates but also improve stormwater management in an economically feasible way.
