The morning began by doing some independent research on rain gardens and how stormwater controls measure works. For example, the rain gardens sizing, the types of vegetables to plan in rain gardens, as well as being aware of pedestrians when developing a rain garden, and different way to soil test. Furthermore, we continued the morning by going over the property that we will design a rain garden. We mostly talked about the soil type/ study and the infiltration percentage rate and how that could effect the rain garden. After lunch we observed different model types to see how much runoff each there is from each turfs and how much cleaner water comes.
After watching the different model types and seeing how as each model had a different infiltration rate and runoff we continued by having a presentation on infiltration so we can take what we learned and apply it to the field test. Finally, we went to visit the site to test the infiltration on each end of the trail, to see which end will be the most effect for a rain garden.
