How Can I Prevent Stormwater Runoff and Flood Damage in Kailua?
8/2/2022 (Permalink)
Aloha! Our local team in Kailua responds to storm and flooding emergencies throughout the year in Kailua. The University of Hawaii received funding from the Environmental Protection Agency to create a manual on building rain gardens. Rain gardens offer an environmentally friendly way to capture groundwater and filter the pollutants in runoff water. They also provide shelter for butterflies and songbirds, and other wildlife. According to the Hui o Ko’olaupoko website:
- Rain gardens have the ability to reduce the amount of pollution entering streams and the ocean by intercepting stormwater
- Rain gardens are ‘designed with nature’ as they mimic natural processes by treating and infiltrating stormwater into the ground and evaporating it back into the air, much like undeveloped areas
- These flat-bottomed depressions are planted with native vegetation to capture excess stormwater from rooftops, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, or streets
- Rain gardens are a great way to protect stream and ocean health from residential pollution
