Green Infrastructure (GI) theoretically can provide multiple ecosystem services, but its performance is uncertain and dynamic which will vary under the different environmental conditions, time and others. In different scenarios, it will probably provide optimal ecosystem service while also probably provide extremely less ecosystem service. This paper mainly focuses on exploring how to use implementable but simple monitoring methods to evaluate the performance of water-related green infrastructure, and discussing that the performance monitor is an indispensable part of GI’s design and practice. The process of “design-practice-monitor-feedback-adjustment”, effectively enhances the local GI’s design, construction, maintenance as well as the policy development level, and helps to achieve good ecological, economic and social benefits in the subsequent process.
