Description:
This colorful illustration explains how rain gardens work as part of Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI). It shows a cross-section of a small landscaped area designed to collect and filter rainwater runoff. The image highlights how rainwater from hard surfaces flows into the garden, where layers of soil, sand, and compost naturally filter it. Native plants with deep roots absorb part of the runoff, while berms keep the water in place during heavy rain. The mulch layer on top helps with moisture retention and filtration. Overall, this image visually demonstrates an eco-friendly way to manage stormwater while supporting local vegetation.
