An investigation into rain gardens
Rain gardens are a relatively simple way to dispose of stormwater runoff. 70% of all water pollution is caused by stormwater runoff, which can be effectively managed using a rain garden. A detailed explanation on the construction of a rain garden is included in this report. This includes all considerations that should be taken – area, location, and other design details. A soil-survey must be done before the construction of the rain garden. The type of soil found will partially determine the cost of the project. Soil with high infiltration would cost less to construct on then low infiltration soil. If the soil is completely unsuitable, new soil must be brought in locally, which would increase both the economic and environmental costs. An estimate of the cost is $11-30 per cubic meter of soil. As for maintenance, litter and debris must be cleaned monthly, dead vegetation replaced bi-annually, and re-mulch annually/as needed. Given its benefits, the cost of a rain garden is low compared to other stormwater runoff solutions.
