Abstract
This study explores the organizational and technical factors that impact the success of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) operations and maintenance (O&M) needs. While there has been research on the ecological, social, and economic benefits of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI), there is less knowledge on the long-term success factors of (O&M) throughout its life cycle. Respondents (n=241) across various disciplines contributed experiences, attitudes, and perceptions to identify challenges and opportunities of GSI O&M. Results suggest the importance of monitoring and evaluation, strengthened interdisciplinary communication, and community engagement to streamline designs and foster support. Further research with broader discipline representation is recommended to enhance our understanding of O&M practices in GSI.
