Horizontales
A shallow Basin with a small slope between the inlet and the outlet structure. They are usually dry.
Water permeable cloth-like material, used in stormwater management and erosion and sediment control applications.
Generally are large, shallow, vegetated basins or regions designed to capture and treat storm water runoff.
The combined loss of water from a given area and during a specific period of time, by evaporation from the soil and transpiration from plants. The step where water returns to the atmosphere as humidity and begins to collect in rain clouds.
Stores stormwater on roof surfaces, either releasing the water gradually to the stormwater or combined sewer system or allowing the plants growing on the roof to use the water.
Natural or artificial layer of plant materials such as pine needles, tree bark, shredded hardwood that covers the land surface.
Surfaces where rain or melting snow and ice can pass through the surface into the soil or sub-base below. Pervious areas include forests, grassed areas, mulched areas.
Occurs when precipitation falls on the pervious areas such as forests, prairies, mulch, grassed areas, and it soaks down through the soil layers and eventually recharges the underground aquifers.
A bioretention practice that uses shallow, open channeled flow pathway. IT uses a dense growth of vegetation along with layers of soil and aggregates to treat, store and infiltrate stormwater runoff.
Precipitation that runs off surfaces such as rooftops, paved streets, highways, and parking lots. It also can come from hard grassy surfaces like lawns, play fields, and from graveled roads and parking lots.
Plant species that has been recently introduced to a particular region. They tend to need more human intervention to be able to survive and thrive.
Non-vegetated system of roof topstorage structures installed over a waterproof membrane that detains water on a roof surface and slows the rate at which it reaches downspouts.
Verticales
Occurs when soil or rock fragments are picked up and moved by water, wind, ice, or gravity.
A structure built in a basement or near a house that collects and stores hundreds of thousands of gallons of rainwater from down spouts and nearby impervious surfaces so that it can be used for non-potable uses.
Type of green infrastructure where shallow basin (like rain gardens) or structures collect storm water and use of vegetation and layers of soil and aggregates. Commonly installed in parks, wide road medians and sidewalks.
Constructed structures such as treatment facilities, sewer systems, storm water or storage basins. Often made of concrete
Waterproof layers of synthetic products used to contain water or liquids and prevent draining or infiltration into underlying soil.
Water that moves over or sits on top of the ground such as creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands and oceans.
An area of land within which water from rain or snowmelt drains into a single body of water, such as a river, lake or ocean.
A type of bioretention. It is a specialized planter installed in the sidewalk area that is designed to manage stormwater runoff from streets and sidewalks.
Practice of collecting and temporarily storing rainwater in rain barrels or cisterns until it can be beneficially used for irrigation or some other non-potable use.
A type of bioretention practice where a collection of trees is planted along an underground infiltration structure. On the surface, it looks just like a series of street tree pits. However, under the sidewalk, there is an engineered system to manage the incoming runoff.
A small structure built across minor channels, swales, bioswales, or drainage ditches; used to reduce erosion and allow pollutants/sediments to settle.
Process of continuously holding or storing stormwater until it evaporates, infiltrates or is used by trees and vegetation.
A roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with growing media and vegetation on top of waterproof membrane. Rainwater is captured and stored in the media until used by plants or it evaporates.
Small, solid fragments of inorganic or organic material that comes from weathering rock or decomposing trees, leaves or vegetation and are carried and deposited by wind, water or ice.
Plant species that have grown naturally in a particular region. Native species tend to be well-adapted to local weather patterns (such as seasonal temperature variations), soil types and precipitation amounts.
