Mid-Scale Stormwater Practices aim to treat a larger amount of an areas stormwater runoff (think neighborhood size)<\/em> through a variety of practices that can incorporate both Green and Grey Infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, runoff can be diverted through pipes or concrete channels – Grey<\/strong>,<\/span> open vegetated swales – Green<\/span><\/strong>, or overland flow into basins which can be dry basins, wet basins, retrofitted basins (to include floating wetlands)<\/em> or stormwater wetlands. Each practice has different potential benefits and cost but all of them provide some increased level of stormwater control and treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which you choose depends on the location and type of soil you have and your desired benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n
