Utility Goals:
- Reduce pollutant loads
- Reduce downstream damage
- Safely move, control, contain
- Capture rain for reuse
- Restore or create habitat
Amenity Goals:
- Education
- Recreation
- Safety
- Public Relations
- Aesthetic Richness
Sustainable Stormwater Management Techniques:- Rainwater Trail
- Flow Splitter
- Rainwater harvesting container
- Flow-through filter planter
- Dry detention basin
- Wet detention basin & constructed wetland
- Infiltration basin or trench
- Rain garden- Bioswale
