Green infrastructure absorbs and filters rainwater, reducing runoff and the burden on aging sewer systems. This prevents water pollution and protects waterways.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1659\">2. <strong data-start=\"1625\" data-end=\"1659\">Improved Air and Water Quality<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1660\" data-end=\"1822\">Vegetation in urban areas captures airborne pollutants and filters contaminants from rainwater.
