This rain garden is designed to accept run off from the entire parcel including the roof top and parking lot. The subsurface is filled with crushed rock and acts to store rain water before infiltrating into the ground. This design reduces the amount of stormwater runoff, treats runoff, and promotes groundwater recharge.
