  • Vegetated Filter Strip treats rain water runoff from parking lot before it reaches a swale which in turn discharges the stormwater into a nearby stream.   Vegetated filter strips are now a widely accepted best management practice (BMP) for low impact development.  They work on the principle of contact time and therefore require low runoff velocities.  This is achieved by maintaining low-angled slopes and avoiding flow-concentrating features such as curbs.

  • The outstretched hand of Buster Simpson’s Beckoning Cistern (2002) manages roof stormwater runoff from the 81 Vine Street Building.  The sculpture was funded by the Seattle Public Utilities 1% for Art Program to support the Growing Vine Street Project, a green street concept developed in the 1990s in Seattle’s Belltown district.  The concept of Growing Vine Street is to use biofiltration and other Green Street elements to treat stormwater before it is released directly into Elliott Bay.  This functional sculpture performs flow control and treatment for urban runoff in a visible and demonstrative way, bringing public awareness to the City’s water conservation efforts.

  • Rain garden manages stormwater runoff at Mt Tabor Middle School.  Partnership of the school, Portland Public Schools and Environmental Services built the rain garden to reduce storm flows to the public sewer line.  Sediments and pollutants are removed before the water gradually soaks into the ground.  A 10-year maintenance agreement has been signed.

  • The Water Garden is a series of three cascading stormwater planters on Vine Street in Seattle, performing flow control and treatment for urban runoff in a visible and demonstrative way, bringing public awareness to the City’s water conservation efforts.  The Water Garden is set in a curb-extension micro-park within the public right-of-way and treats stormwater that discharges from the Beckoning Cistern, a functional urban stormwater sculpture by Buster Simpson.  The Water Garden features plantings of ferns, shrubs and water plants, designed to provide treatment through biofiltration and other Green Street processes.  The Water Garden is part of the Growing Vine Street Project, a green street initiative in Seattle’s Belltown district.

  • A public-private stormwater management partnership (PPP) - the first of its kind in Portland.  Runoff from the public street flows into a treatment swale on private property, where vegetation filters out pollutants before it soaks into the ground, naturally recharging groundwater.

  • Landscaped stormwater planter strip manages rain water from the "first flush" during a rainfall event.  Stormwater has filled the first chamber and is overtopping a weir and filling the second chamber.  Green streets collect stormwater runoff and route it through facilities like this planter where vegetation and soils filter pollutants before allowing water to soak into the ground.  These facilities replenish groundwater and enhance neighborhood green spaces.  Green streets require routine cleaning and maintenance.  This facility is on NE 47th Avenue at NE Davis Street in Portland, Oregon.

  • Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia) in the Mojave Desert, is ironically inundated by surface rain water runoff after a heavy rain storm in Joshua Tree National Park, California.  Several studies have been done on these centuries-old trees.  In a current study, ecologists from the US Geological Survey linked climate change to population decline and are modeling the impacts of climate change on their survival, and the possibility that 90 percent will be wiped out of their current range (and out of this national park) in 60 to 90 years.
