Modeling 3D Ex-Filtration Process of a Soak-Away Rain Garden

A Field Evaluation of Rain Garden Flow and Pollutant Treatment

Rain gardens have been recommended as a best management practice to treat stormwater runoff. However, no published field performance data existed on pollutant removal capabilities. Replicated rain gardens were constructed in Haddam, CT, to capture shingled-roof runoff. The gardens were sized to store the first 2.54 cm (1 inch) of runoff. Influent, overflow and percolate flow were measured using...

Cap-orifice as a Flow Regulator for Rain Garden Design

Abstract Rain gardens have been recognized as an effective device for on-site runoff volume reduction and storm water quality enhancement. A rain garden is designed as an infiltration basin with a shallow, wide water storage volume. The sub-base underneath the basin bottom is structured as a two-layered filtering medium. The upper sand layer provides the required filtering process and then the ...
