Presentation to the NSW stormwater Industry Association conference 2017 Newcastle
Raingardens are on the extreme edge of viability for growing plants. This makes them very vulnerable to even minor climatic variation. With Sydney's population set to grow by 1.7M by 2030, nearly 300 football fields worth of raingardens will need to be built just in Sydney's west alone. This is a half billion dollar investment. In the next decade we are likely to experience another El Niño event, that will put great strain on these systems. More consideration is needed in designing these systems to ensure they have more inbuilt resilience, to longer dryer events.
This paper looks at contributing factors to plant failure’s in some of the raingardens at “The Ponds” after 9 years of growth. There were a multitude of factors, but drought stress was thought to be a key contributing factor. Drainage design, media mix, planting species layout and even the shape of the rain gardens also contributed.
Raingardens by their very nature have high infiltration rates, poor moisture retention and nutrient stripping. Conditions diametrically opposed to plant growth. Some of the raingardens at The Ponds were designed as a dry gardens but were converted at time of construction to effectively a wet sump system by a simple weir in the outlet pit. When these were removed six years later there was a dramatic decline in plant survival. Counterintuitively the Music modelling was showing the wet sumps did not perform as well on a m2 basis.
Given the intrinsic importance of planting to raingarden function and aesthetics, this paper looks at some considerations and thoughts in designing for survival. It looks at options to mitigate the extreme conditions we are creating in raingardens. The intent being to ensure we have greater resilience in the planting for better long term outcomes.
The document discusses the biosand filter (BSF), a point-of-use water treatment system that uses a layered sand and gravel column to remove contaminants from water through biological and physical processes. It provides an overview of how BSFs work, describing the four methods of contaminant removal as filtration, predation, starvation, and adsorption. It also outlines the typical construction of a BSF, maintenance procedures, comparisons to other water treatment methods, and presents information on a project to introduce BSFs to rural communities in China to provide access to safe drinking water.

The document provides instructions for designing, constructing, installing, operating and maintaining biosand filters. It discusses the multi-barrier approach to household water treatment and provides an overview of biosand filters, including their history, components and how they work to remove pathogens from water. The manual then gives detailed step-by-step instructions for constructing a concrete biosand filter based on CAWST's Version 10.0 design, and provides guidance on installation, operation, maintenance and follow up activities to ensure safe drinking water.
The document summarizes information about biosand water filters, which are a low-cost method to purify water for rural communities that lack access to clean water. Biosand filters can remove up to 98% of contaminants like bacteria and parasites from water using only natural processes. They are an affordable alternative to commercial water filters, costing around $60 compared to $1,000 for other options. Biosand filters provide a sustainable way to improve water quality and safety in isolated areas with high rates of waterborne illness and death.

A rain garden is a shallow depression planted with native plants and grasses that is positioned near a source of runoff like a downspout or driveway. Rain gardens capture runoff, slowing pollutants and conserving water while improving water quality, recharging groundwater, and creating habitat for birds and insects. Runoff is considered bad because when rain hits impervious surfaces like driveways and concrete, it picks up pollutants and flows into sewer systems instead of soaking into the ground.

Mulching in horticulture amit and dinesh bbau lucknowamithr97
This document discusses mulching in vegetable crops. It defines mulching as covering soil around plant roots to insulate from temperature fluctuations. Benefits include conserving soil moisture, moderating temperatures, controlling weeds, reducing diseases and erosion. There are organic and inorganic mulches. Plastic films are preferred as inorganic mulches as they are easily available and manageable. Thickness of mulches depends on crop type. Plastic mulches increase vegetable crop yields by 35-60% depending on the crop. Proper disposal of non-degradable mulches is needed to avoid plastic pollution.
This document discusses how maintaining a Florida-friendly landscape can help the environment and health. It notes that excessive watering and fertilizer can lead to drought and pollution of water supplies. Following the nine principles of Florida-friendly landscaping, like using native plants that require less water and fertilizer, can help reduce water consumption and runoff while beautifying yards. The document shows the process of transforming an overgrown lawn into a landscape that uses mulch and efficient watering to reduce water needs and protect the local environment and health.
This document discusses water resources and rainwater harvesting. It notes that only 2.5% of water on Earth is fresh water, with much of it locked in ice sheets. India faces water scarcity and will face more by 2025. Major causes of scarcity are over-exploitation, large populations, agriculture, and pollution. Jawaharlal Nehru introduced multi-purpose river projects to generate power, support irrigation and more. These projects have limitations like environmental impacts. Traditional and modern rainwater harvesting techniques help conserve water and support agriculture, including rooftop collection, tanks, and surface runoff systems.

This document discusses weeds found in non-cropped areas and their management. It lists various weed species that are commonly found in non-cropped areas like roadsides and provides examples such as Parthenium hysterophorus. The spread of weeds in non-cropped areas can threaten biodiversity, increase reptile dangers, and reduce forage and productivity. Management practices discussed include cultural, physical, chemical, and biological methods. Specific herbicide options are also presented for brush weeds, soil treatments, and foliage applications.
1) The document discusses various ways to promote more sustainable living through reducing, recycling, and reusing resources. It focuses on challenges faced in rural areas like climate change and water management.
2) Key strategies proposed include improved biomass stoves to reduce emissions, biochar production to improve soils and crop yields, and weather-based crop insurance. Adaptations like polyhouses, floating gardens, and wastewater irrigation are also discussed.
3) Monitoring water usage and promoting conservation through education and technology is recommended to help ensure long-term sustainable water management.
Farmers have worked to reduce pesticides in water but more is needed. Key pesticides like oilseed rape herbicides and metaldehyde slug pellets still regularly appear in water testing. While overall pesticide levels are declining in water, peak levels after heavy rain pose problems for water companies. Improving practices around filling areas, application timing, and field drainage can help further protect water quality.
