Abstract
Rain gardens are relatively small depressions in the ground that can act as infiltration points for roof water and other ‘clean’ surface water – i.e. water that is low in contamination levels.
Rain gardens are most likely to be implemented on private property close to buildings. In order for roof water to reach a rain garden, property downpipes are often disconnected from the drainage system and redirected.
Rain gardens should be planted up with native vegetation that is happy with occasional inundations.
