Allows water to infiltrate into the soil below instead of running off.  This decreases pollutants (e.g., oil, litter, etc.) that could be carried into the stream during storm events and decreases stream water volumes during storm events.]]> 2022-03-23 12:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109629486 24autrcj https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109634355 Coston Autry
By including areas like parks within cities (e.g. central park in NYC), one can effectively provide an area in which infiltration can occur in greater amounts. The permeable surfaces within green spaces allow for a greater recharge rate of groundwater whereas the impermeable surfaces of the surrounding urban area may not.]]> 2022-03-23 12:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109634355 https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109634373 Emma Meyer
A grass swale is a stable turf, parabolic or trapezoidal channel used for water quality or to convey stormwater runoff]]> 2022-03-23 12:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109634373 24caseah https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109635003 Arowyn Casenhiser
Cisterns are systems that collect rainwater into an above ground or underground storage area to supply water to a household. They are particularly practical where groundwater is often unavailable for use, but rainwater is easily accessible.]]> 2022-03-23 12:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109635003 https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109635169 Lauren Potteiger 
Rain gardens are small gardens in urban areas landscaped with native plants. Their purpose is to catch rainwater runoff from impervious surfaces and allows it to soak in the ground. ]]> 2022-03-23 12:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109635169 24mcquop https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109635327 Dry detention basins, also known as dry ponds, are designed to hold stormwater runoff and slowly release volumes of runoff to decrease stormwater peaks.

They temporarily detain rainstorms. They use a small outlet that keeps runoff from having pollution. Contain items such as concrete forbay, trickle channel, micropool, and an outlet structure with orifice plate.  ]]> 2022-03-23 12:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109635519 https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109635633 A small areas located in city centers, or wherever possible, that are grassy, with soil layers containing humus, detritus, and layers that support the grass or trees above. ]]> 2022-03-23 12:57:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109635633 https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109635914 An infiltration trench is a rock-filled trench with no outlet that receives stormwater runoff. Runoff is stored in the void space between the stones and infiltrates through the bottom and into the soil matrix. ]]> 2022-03-23 12:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109635914 https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109636239 Constructed wetlands are treatment systems that use natural processes involving wetland vegetation, soils, and their associated microbial assemblages to improve water quality.]]> 2022-03-23 12:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109636239 https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109636634  Kate O'Boyle
Water quality inlets are also known as oil/grease separators. These separators remove sediments, oils and greases from parking lots prior to discharge to the storm drain or infiltration basin. ]]> 2022-03-23 12:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109636634 https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109636637 2022-03-23 12:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109636637 https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109637682 Emma Sheets
- Uses vegetation strips to provide barriers of protection which protect potential pollutants from running off into the surface waters.

Detention Ponds allow stormwater runoff to replace already present pond water. Pond water will flow out and the new water will be stored in the pond until the next storm. This allows pollutants in the runoff to settle.]]> 2022-03-23 12:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109637923 https://padlet.com/tyler_jones1/d8a25rivccj5xswu/wish/2109638129 An infiltration basin is basically a dip in a green area that allows the water to have more permeable surface area to infiltrate through the soil and recharge the groundwater.
