What Is Green Infrastructure?
What Is Green Infrastructure?
Green infrastructure comprises stormwater management strategies that enable stormwater and melting snow to soak into soils near where they fall, or be captured for a beneficial re-use such as irrigation or flushing toilets. Keeping runoff out of the storm sewer system improves water quality and minimizes localized flooding. Examples include rain gardens, permeable pavement, street tree trenches, green roofs and cisterns.
What is a Rain Garden?
What is a Rain Garden?
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, A rain garden is a depressed area in the landscape that collects rain water from a roof, driveway or street and allows it to soak into the ground. Planted with grasses and flowering perennials, rain gardens can be a cost effective and beautiful way to reduce runoff from your property. Rain gardens can also help filter out pollutants in runoff and provide food and shelter for butterflies, song birds and other wildlife.
