A rain garden is a planted depression or a hole that allows rainwater runoff from impervious urban areas, like roofs, driveways, walkways, parking lots, and compacted lawn areas, the opportunity to be absorbed. This reduces rain runoff by allowing stormwater to soak into the ground (as opposed to flowing into storm drains and surface waters which causes erosion, water pollution, flooding, and diminished groundwater). They should be designed for specific soils and climates. The purpose of a rain garden is to improve water quality in nearby bodies of water and to ensure that rainwater becomes available for plants as groundwater rather than being sent through stormwater drains straight out to sea. Rain gardens can cut down on the amount of pollution reaching creeks and streams by up to 30%.

"Swales are Swell and So Are Rain Gardens" is Episode 7 the last in the series of instructional videos the Water Board has been posting on how we can be stewards of our watersheds - which starts at home. Make sure to keep in the loop for upcoming events showcasing these videos. When rain hits hard surfaces, it runs off and is collected by the storm drain system and can end up polluting the water body it drains to. This video focuses on alternatives to directing water off your property through creating depressions in your landscape that slow the flow and often create habitat full of native flora and fauna.

Sustainable World Media visits with rainwater harvesting expert Jeff Adams at the recently installed rain garden at the Santa Barbara City College Center for Life Long Learning. In this video, Jeff talks about designing landscapes to retain water- to slow it, spread, sink it. Jeff talks about how water harvesting techiniques, combined with drought tolerant landscaping and use of native species, contributes to long-term water efficiencies. Keep your garden beautiful through times of drought and intermittent rainfall. Don't let precious water run off your land! Use the water that falls onsite to create a healthier soil food web and a more verdant landscape.
Building a Rain Garden: Keeping Our Pacific Northwest Waters Clean. In this 32-minute video, you'll learn the important steps to follow to site, design, construct, and maintain a beautiful landscape feature that captures and filters polluted runoff, helps prevent flooding, recharges our groundwater aquifers, and creates habitat for birds and butterflies. This video complements the WSU and OSU handbooks on creating rain gardens, expands on some of the ideas in those books, and includes helpful resources for homeowners.

Great overview on how to install a simple home rain garden! (Disclaimer: There is mention of using glyphosate for site preparation, which is no longer recommended. When this video was produced in 2010, glyphosate was considered fairly benign. Currently, there is heightened concern about its toxicity.)
