RAIN!!! —–> raingarden
Raingardens and Right-of-Way stormwater gardens slow and hold stormwater so that it has a chance to percolate into the soil. If the water is slowed and held, and if the soil is permeable and planted with the right plants, this valuable water can recharge our groundwater. 6.91 inches last night at O’Hare….. Water is a resource.
Conveyance….
Getting the water from the downspout to the raingarden will require a lined runnel. Seems like an old piece of steel culvert sliced lengthwise will do the trick here.
