Product Definition Stormwater Management, By Tools • Grassed Swales: Grassed swales are vegetated channels designed to treat and attenuate stormwater runoff for a specified water quality volume. As stormwater runoff flows through the channels, it is treated through filtering by the vegetation in the channel, filtering through a subsoil matrix, and/or infiltration into the underlying soils. • Rain Gardens: Rain gardens are gardens containing flowering plants and grasses that can survive in soil soaked in water from rain storms. Rain Gardens collect and slow stormwater run off and increase its infiltration into the soil. • Pervious Pavement: Pervious pavement is designed to allow percolation or infiltration of stormwater through the surface into the soil below where the water is naturally filtered and pollutants are removed. • Green Roofs: Green roofs or vegetated roof covers are thin layer of living plants growing on top of a roof. It is an extension of a conventional roof which involves instillation of a layered system of membranes, substrate and plants. • Others Tools: Other Tools include Parking Lot Filter Strips, Bioretention Basins, Rain Barrels, Stream Buffers, Pipes, Sewers, etc. Stormwater Management, By Application • Municipal: Municipal includes Roads, Railways, Bridges, Tunnels, Sewage, Streets, Building Services, Highways, etc. • Commercial: Commercial includes Educational Institutions (Schools, Colleges, Universities), Retail (Departmental Stores, Specialty Stores, Supermarkets, Convenience Stores, Hypermarkets), Hotels, Offices, Multifamily Housing Buildings, Warehouses, etc. • Industrial: Industrial is inclusive of all the industries, and manufacturing plants, using stormwater management solutions. © TechSci Research 1111
