Event Overview

Join us at our upcomimg Community of Practice workshop to expand your knowledge on delivering successful swale and raingarden projects.

Swales play an important role in urban landscapes by disconnecting impervious surfaces from downstream waterways, helping to protect them during frequent storm events and improving stormwater runoff water quality. With the right plant selection and placement, swales can also enhance the aesthetic value of streetscapes and open spaces.

Sustaining vegetation in raingardens depends on various factors, such as organic and clay content in the filter media.

  • Is the current filter media specification suitable for the Adelaide’s climate?
  • Is supplementary watering essential, especially for batters?

Join us as we explore these questions and provide insights  to ensure success for your next biofiltration project.
