bioswale

Another way to remove pollution from surface runoff water is bioswale.

A community park naturalization and storm water bioswale retention system at St.

The designed bioswale channel is grass-lined, but almost linear in form.

Customers will immediately notice an urban bioswale, or sustainable rain garden, along the side of the building.

A total of two lineal miles of bioswale was designed into the project.

The pond receives some of its water though a bioswale design that collects rainwater throughout the garden.

Depending upon the geometry of land available, a bioswale may have a meandering or almost straight channel alignment.

Swales slope to a destination, while rain gardens do not; however, a bioswale may end with a rain garden.

The purpose of the bioswale was to minimize runoff contaminants from entering Sonoma Creek.

Past workshops have included aikido lessons, outdoor mushroom cultivation, bioswale creation, and nonviolent communication.

Bioswale to remediate drainage water in front of the lot (water reused for irrigation)

One environmental element is the bioswale to test drainage and how water will percolate into the ground to recharge the ground water.

The bioswale contains mostly mowed grass which drains water from the bridge to Crystral Springs.

Additionally, environmental concerns were incorporated into the infrastructure, including low energy, natural ventilation systems, a wetland feature, and bioswale filters that clean surface runoff water.

The bioswale, or other type of biofilter, wraps around the parking lot and treats the runoff before releasing it to the watershed or storm sewer.

A second example of a large scale designed bioswale is at the Carneros Business Park, Sonoma County, California.

Sheltering this very hip space is a state-of-the-art ecoroof and bioswale system that filters and absorbs most of the site's rainwater, helping to eliminate stormwater runoff.

Storm water runoff from residential areas in Civita and parts of Serra Mesa are primarily directed to a unique bioswale system in Civita's central park.

The bioswale, which has the appearance of a natural streambed, will remove silt and pollution from the runoff through natural biofiltration and reestablish plant and animal habitats.

According to The Conservation Registry the Bybee Bridge Bioswale, located at the northwest side of the bridge to treat stormwater, was also completed in November 2004.

KMA was one of the first companies in Irvine to voluntarily install an eco-friendly bioswale system in its parking lot to remove silt and pollution from surface water runoff.

One is now a bioswale: a giant sponge that takes in rainwater diverted from the street and lets it soak into a subterranean chamber, thereby relieving pressure on the sewer system.

Additionally, the company has redirected their entire energy load into Greenpower, and has created a biologically intact bioswale system which collects and filters all of the waste water runoff from the industrial complex.

In 1996 for Willamette River Park in Portland, Oregon a total of 2330 lineal feet of bioswale was designed and installed to capture and prevent pollutant runoff from entering the Willamette River.

Phase One includes a multi-sport irrigated field accommodating cricket, soccer, baseball and basketball, cricket sight screens, cricket & baseball practice cages, a baseball backstop, a red clay running track, our bioswale, wetland, urban forest and butterfly meadow.
