Rein in Runoff with Rain Garden

EAST PROVIDENCE — The concept is simple: Keep rain and the pollutants it carries out of storm drains with a rain garden.

"The point is to show you how easy this is to do," said Kate Venturini, an instructor with the the University of Rhode Island's Stormwater Solutions Project , during a recent hand-ons landscaping workshop at the East Providence Public Library.

A rain garden is a shallow-planted area designed to soak up runoff from roofs, driveways, lawns and parking lots. During heavy rains in particular, these planted gardens reduce the stream of water — and the harmful pollutants it collects — from flowing down streets and into local waterways.

Currently, about 12 percent of Rhode Island is covered by impervious surfaces such as asphalt, cement and roofing.

These gardens allow concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorous to absorb and dissipate in soil instead of harming aquatic ecosystems and contaminating drinking water supplies.
