Water is one of our most precious resources. There are a wide variety of measures that can be used to retain and conserve water from your landscape. Depending on topographic characteristics of a site, large ponds as well as garden ponds and pondless waterfalls can be utilized to capture clean runoff from the landscape. By excess storage area into a water feature, clean usable water can be stored in an attractive location. A garden pond or even larger pond provide an aesthetically pleasing alternative to rain barrels and other above ground water storage products.

Particularly in the case of new construction, downspout drains and runoff from other impervious surfaces can be routed to a pond location. In a humid climate with an average rainfall of 40 inches per year, a 1,400 square foot roof top will yield nearly 35,000 gallons of usable water in a year.

Commercial detention basins can benefit from a number of upgrades. The typical eyesore detention basin can be transformed into a spectacular asset by adding waterfalls and native aquatic plants to the system. In addition, water quality can be improved through the addition of wetland forebays, waterfalls, and aerators to existing detention basins.

Infiltration areas can be used to direct clean runoff water to the groundwater for future use while reducing stormwater detention requirements.

Stormwater treatment options are almost endless and SHOULD be attractive!
