Certain issues, such as rainwater runoff, have a negative impact on water quality. As this water runs off the surface, it can carry numerous contaminants into waterways.
To encourage the infiltration of water as it occurs in nature, Vision H2O implements measures to reduce runoff, including rain gardens.
Rain gardens are natural infrastructures that absorb excess water from impervious surfaces such as compacted lawns and parking lots. This reduces the amount of contaminants entering storm drains and streams, rivers and eventually the sea.
Building a rain garden involves a number of technical aspects. This guide has been prepared to show you the steps involved in building a rain garden in your backyard.
