Rainwater Infiltration

Rainfall that hits hard surfaces – streets, sidewalks, parking lots, patios, driveways and rooftops – is much more likely to pick up contaminants and become polluted stormwater. By using pavers, bricks or wood chips instead of concrete, more rain can soak into the ground. One way to help rainwater infiltration on your property is to build a rain garden.
