  • 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.

  • Rainwater from a household roof gushes down a rain chain during a storm.  Rain chains are decorative alternatives to a downspout.  They make a water feature out of the conveyance of rainwater from the roof gutters down to a drain or to a storage container.  RRS BD700-L, RRS BH-55 PCL, RRS TVC-33, RRS LCF-10.

  • 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.

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.

  • The Living Roof of the California Academy of Sciences building within Golden Gate Park, and adjacent to the De Young Museum.  The roof provides stormwater management for both flow reduction and water quality.  The living roof contains over 40 native California plant species and provides habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, particularly butterflies.  The rooftop's seven undulating green hillocks pay homage to the iconic topography of San Francisco and blurs the boundary between building and parkland.  Living roofs significantly reduce Heat Island Effect, and the vent windows help manage interior climate.

  • Channel drain detail of stormwater facilities, Tanner Springs Park, Portland, Oregon.  This park in the Pearl District of downtown Portland, Oregon is a modern-day experiment in sustainable design and stormwater management.  The water feature, designed by Herbert Dreiseitl is an effort to re-create the pre-industrial wetlands and riparian ecology of the original Tanner Creek that flowed to the nearby Willamette River in the early 1800s.  One sustainability feature of the park is the collection, treatment and recirculation of all rainwater that falls within the park.  Additional sustainability features include the re-use of basalt cobbles, or Belgian Blocks, for walkways and the re-use of rusty railroad rails for the undulating wall.
