Stormwater green infrastructure #2

This small stormwater catchment south of the College of Engineering buildings is designed to capture precipitation run off directly from the street. The absence of a curb and channeling in the street direct stormwater to this green infrastructure site of native arid land perennial shrubs. Species include Artemisia tridentata, Cercocarpus ledifolius, Chrysothamnus nauseous, Juniperus osteosperma, and Rhus trilobata.

Education is our mission

Native arid land shrubs collect street runoff and persist through summer droughts

By lowering the curb and channeling, street precipitation run off flows into this vegetation stand
