Here is a picture of me setting up a transducer for a Graduate student in one of our three rain gardens. The student is working on her thesis for her masters in environmental engineering. The transducer will collect data on the water depth in the rain garden as well as the average rain fall, and water flow. The rain gardens dont look that great this time of the year due to the fact that they are mostly perrenials and are cut down for the winter. There are many advantages to having raingardens such as reducing runoff, cutting down on storm drain loads, beautifying the environment. Raingardens are low maintenance and easy to maintain. I currently have plans for two more raingardens on campus.
