Bioretention: Rain Garden

Bioretention – Rain Gardens are a method of treating stormwater by pooling water on the surface and allowing filtering and settling of suspended solids and sediment at the mulch layer, prior to entering the plant/soil/microbe complex media for infiltration and pollutant removal. Bioretention techniques are used to accomplish water quality improvement and water quantity reduction. Rain Gardens are planted with native species which enhances habitat that is beneficial for insects and wildlife
