Rain gardens are
becoming increasingly popular. As the title suggests, the main purpose is to
catch rain water with its plants and soil. We can see the negative impact of
polluted storm water run-off created by extensive development in the past.
There is a need for developing a more holistic approach that would result in
healthier waterways and habitats. In this particular project I was
concentrating on collecting water from a roof.
Like a sponge,
this 24” deep basin will allow for slow filtration into the ground. I hope to
update this post as soon as this project installation takes off.
I suggest you
Google the benefits of rain gardens on your own. There are more than few.
