Stormwater Planters - EMSWCD
A stormwater planter is an easy and attractive way to manage and filter some of the rainwater coming off a roof or other impervious surface. Managing this water helps protects our urban streams and infrastructure, and reduces the load on them.
Stormwater Planters: Low-impact development fact sheet
Unlike rain gardens, stormwater planters are contained in structures made of wood, stone, brick, or concrete. You could call them "rain gardens in a box." Explore the two different kinds of stormwater planters and how each manages runoff.
Stormwater Planters – Green Stormwater Infrastructure
A stormwater planter is a specialized sidewalk system that captures runoff from streets and sidewalks. The planter is lined with permeable fabric, filled with gravel or stone, and topped off with vegetation. Stormwater planters are installed on sidewalks to manage runoff.
Stormwater planters are structures made of a durable material (such as stone, brick, or concrete1) that are designed to capture runoff and settle and filter out sediment and pollut-ants. Runoff is piped, channeled, or directed by overland flow to the sur-face of the planter, where it is tem-porarily stored and then infiltrated
Stormwater planters - LID SWM Planning and Design Guide
Stormwater planters are "filtration-only" BMPs, similar to bioretention cells, that can be squeezed into tight urban spaces, adjacent to buildings and within the usual setbacks required for infiltrating facilities.
A stormwater planter is a small, contained vegetated area that collects and treats stormwater using bioretention. Bioretention systems collect and filterstormwater through
Stormwater Planters | Green Building Alliance - gba.org
Stormwater planters are contained vegetated areas that collect stormwater runoff. Using bioretention practices, these planters collect and filter water through various layers of vegetation and soils. They are commonly seen in cities along streets and sidewalks, and can vary in size, shape, and plant content.
Stormwater Planters Manage Runoff in Small Gardens - Houzz
Mar 18, 2015 · Stormwater planters use plants’ and soil’s ability to slow, filter and intercept stormwater, called biorentention, to manage runoff sustainably. They function similarly to rain gardens but are smaller, use layers of soil and stone, and have constructed walls.
What are Planter Boxes? Planter boxes are structures or containers with open bottoms to allow stormwater, primarily rooftop runoff, to temporarily hold and filter stormwater. They contain a layer of gravel, soil, and vegetation. Stormwater runoff temporarily pools on top of the soil, and then slowly infiltrates through the planter
Stormwater planters are structural containers with open bottoms that allow stormwater runof to filter through the reservoir and in-filtrate slowly into the ground below. Planter boxes contain layers of gravel, soil, plants, and mulch that capture and filter pollutants.
