Bioswales and Infiltration Trenches Webinar - October 24th, 2017

The speaker discusses the importance of green infrastructure design and policy planning in stormwater management. They emphasize the need for collaboration between various professionals in the design process.

The discussion centers around bioswales, their design principles, functions, and objectives. The speaker explains the layout of bioswales, infiltration trenches, and natural green infrastructure.

Details about infiltration trenches are provided, including their construction, purpose, and suitability in different environments. The speaker highlights the importance of proper design to ensure efficient filtration and water management.

The chapter covers water quality prediction, stream bank protection, flood mitigation, and the removal of pollutants through green infrastructure. The speaker discusses challenges related to water filtration and the importance of careful selection and maintenance of BMPs.

This section delves into the design and implementation of enhanced filtration techniques in stormwater management. The speaker discusses the considerations for effective filtration, including selecting the right materials and managing construction processes.

Discussing the importance of maintenance for erosion areas and observation wells to ensure proper function and dryness.

Emphasizing the need for a responsible party, whether city or private entity, to maintain the BMPs and easements properly.

Highlighting the significance of documenting maintenance activities for individual BMPs and cities for long-term effectiveness.

Explaining the design and benefits of bioswales in stormwater management, particularly in capturing runoff and providing treatment.

Discussing different design elements and configurations for bioswales to optimize stormwater management and treatment.
