Bioretention 101
This special-offer Clearwater training is designed to provide participants with a holistic understanding of key considerations to successfully design, construct and maintain bioretention assets. The course synthesises content from Clearwater’s Construction Hold Points training and Maintenance of WSUD Assets Training with new biofiltration design content to address and build understanding across the full lifecycle of biofiltration assets.
Learning outcomes
By attending this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Articulate the basic concepts of bioretention systems – why we’re building them, their function and key components, how they support water sensitive urban design and broader benefits
- Understand principles for designing bioretention systems – key success factors, challenges, and corresponding design solution approaches
- Understand common WSUD construction issues and how to avoid or mitigate them
- Better understand maintenance needs and how good design influences long-term outcomes.
Audience
Anyone responsible for the planning, design, construction or maintenance of bioretention systems. Early career professionals – including engineers, urban designers, landscape architects, environmental specialists and asset managers – may find the workshop particularly useful to gain insights into the end-to-end process to improve asset planning and design.
