Project Description

The Harn Aqueduct Rain Garden and Conservation Landscaping project eliminated standing water on a walk-out patio and potential basement flooding through use of an aqueduct to passively convey roof drainage to the uphill rain garden. The solution treats a substantial portion of runoff from the property, provides water quality and habitat benefits by using conservation landscaping with native plants, and creates beautiful sounds and visual effects of cascading water.
