A “rain garden” is a modern, environmentally friendly infrastructural solution that is considered one of the most effective and aesthetic ways to manage rainwater and improve the area.
Simply put, it is a specially designed green space that collects rainwater from building roofs, sidewalks and yard surfaces, then cleans it using natural methods, soil filtration and plants, and slowly returns it to the ground.
How does a rain garden system work?
A rain garden is a small, indented area that has: improved, porous soil; special, hardy plants; a drainage layer. The structure of the garden stops water, slows it down, and conducts it into the ground so that excessive flooding no longer occurs.
What problems does a rain garden solve?
- Flooding reduction;
- Filtering surface contaminants;
- Improving the ecological and visual environment;
- Increasing climate resilience.
Why are rain gardens important for the living environment?
Rain gardens are now used by many settlements to reduce basement flooding, improve hygiene conditions, increase biodiversity and strengthen environmental awareness.
The project is implemented with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP Georgia) and the Government of Denmark, within the framework of the project "Greening the Future - Advancing Rights and Stability"
