Understand the design and function of rain gardens and their use in the larger stormwater management picture.
Protecting valuable water resources from pollutants in stormwater runoff is necessary and can be done in many ways. Rain gardens are a popular stormwater management practice because they are aesthetically pleasing, adaptable to diverse sites, and can be a low-cost method to both reduce runoff and remove pollutants. This topic will look at the perception, terminology, and connotations of rain gardens. Rain garden design, plant selection, and maintenance basics will be covered. Long-term issues including aesthetics, functionality, TMDL credits, and current research will also be discussed. This material will provide you with an overview of rain gardens and their use in the larger stormwater management picture.
Learning Objectives
- You will be able to review rain garden design.
- You will be able to discuss rain garden plant selection.
- You will be able to explore rain garden maintenance.
- You will be able to describe rain garden life expectancy.
