Benefits: This flagship NbS solution reshapes the landscape of streets, squares and parks with a functionality oriented first and foremost towards runoff management during periods of heavy rainfall to retain and then infiltrate and/or evaporate the water. Vegetation integrated into the rain garden can include trees, providing shade and an interesting vegetative landscape. Design and implementation: The design should be made considering a minimum width of 1m. There is no limit to the length, but the other elements of the street or plaza must be considered. The height and the use of the lower infiltration layers such as gravel, coarse and fine sand depends on the type of soil found in the intervention area. Mulch is recommended in areas with dry climates to store more moisture.
