- W1594041942 abstract "Stormwater runoff is a leading cause of water quality degradation in the United States. Urbanization increases impervious surfaces in a watershed resulting in higher runoff volumes per unit of rainfall. There are several consequences of increased runoff including accelerated soil erosion and increasing nonpoint source pollutants (suspended solids, nutrients, bacteria, and metals) entering water courses, streams, rivers and lakes. Stormwater management rain gardens have been shown to be effective for reducing both additional runoff and pollutant loads. While serving as a runoff biofilter, rain gardens can also be integrated into the landscape to enhance the beauty and diversity of urban parks and recreation areas. In addition, rain gardens provide an opportunity to demonstrate the importance of maintaining healthy ecosystems and water resources management. This paper reports on rain garden designs, construction, and efficacy and discusses the rain garden project at the Pineywoods Native Plant Center at SFASU. What is a Rain Garden? Rain gardens are landscape features that are built to capture, store, and filter storm runoff. Rain gardens use shallow depressions to slow runoff waters and spread this water out over an area. This drop in velocity allows sediments and debris to settle out of runoff waters. This water then soaks into the soil of the rain garden. Plant roots take up the water, thus reducing the concentrations of nutrients and metals. Soil transformation of these pollutants also can occur. Rain gardens also provide habitat for birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects. They can also reduce water usage in the landscape, particularly when appropriate native plants are established in them. Finally, rain gardens are beautiful, and add to the aesthetic appeal of a landscape. Rain gardens are often confused with treatment wetlands. While these two systems may have similar goals, namely, the treatment of stormwater runoff, they perform this function quite differently. Rain gardens are designed so that the water soaks into the ground within a couple of days. Water does not permanently pond on the surface of a rain garden, unlike a treatment wetland. This means that soils are not anaerobic for long periods of time. This allows for a greater diversity of plant materials in rain gardens. On soils where internal drainage may be limited (clay subsoils for example), artificial drainage through under-drain pipes may be necessary to prevent a rain garden from turning into a seasonally flooded wetland." @default.
