See How This Dry, Flooded Office Complex Became a Green Oasis!

From sterile gravel lot to lush rain-fed paradise! How a single rain garden sparked the on-going transformation of a once sterile office complex experiencing costly flooding into a growing oasis that harvests onsite rain and massive stormwater flows from neighboring properties in a way that controls flooding, recharges the aquifer, and naturally cleans the water and soils with edible life. ⬇️ BUY MY BOOKS at deep discount direct from me for how to do all that's in the video and more: https://www.harvestingrainwater.com/s... CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 0:59 Reese Baker and the rain garden that sparked transformations throughout the office complex 1:20 The watershed and its 250,000 gallons (946,000 liters) draining into the rain garden 2:09 non-native Siberian elm tree logs inoculated with oyster mushroom decomposer fungi that help filter water and soil 3:15 Rain garden planted with native edibles in 2017 by local high school's freshman biology class 4:10 Xerces Society documented native bee species supported by the rain garden 4:34 mycelium growing on Siberian elm log 5:31 rain gardens run stormwater from streets and pavement through biology to filter the water (in this case with plants - phytoremediation AND with fungi - mycoremediation) so the filtered surplus stormwater can then recharge the aquifer 6:07 This rain garden is only watered by passively harvested rainwater and stormwater - NO water from municipal system or wells 6:48 How stormwater from once flooded back-side of offices is brought to front-side rain gardens 7:35 Sediment trap 7:46 Acquía-like canals or channels then convey once-flooding stormwater to new meandering, stepped rain gardens 8:16 Lesson learned from mistake: Do NOT constrict flow with pipe or you'll experience clogging from floating "debris" 8:55 Stormwater flow through the canal/channel 9:46 Dry gravel pits BEFORE transformation. All roof runoff used to drain to back side of properties. 10:14 Pits now transformed into rain gardens installed just a few months before this video was filmed. 11:47 Stormwater flow through the new stepped and meandering rain garden basins 12:16 Detail on the rock weir that sets the depth of the upstream basin, and creates a waterfall spillway for the overflow water 13:23 On-going replacement of gravel with wood chip mulch 15:04 Media luna basin overflow spillway creating three waterfalls 15:45 Zuni-bowl three-way "valve" that directs much of the incoming stormwater from adjoining properties (and roof water draining off back side of office buildings) to rain gardens in the front yards of the offices. 16:51 How stormwater channels are reducing flooding on the backside of the offices. 18:32 If Reese only had to deal with water coming off on-site office roofs the stormwater channel would not need continuous rock on its bottom, but could instead just have periodic one-rock dam grade control structures 19:16 The flooding problems BEFORE stormwater was harvested 20:25 The undersized designed overflow outlet of the neighboring property's stormwater detention basin 20:49 Stormwater flows from the neighboring property's stormwater detention basin. 21:14 Way undersized 4-inch (100-mm)-diameter pipe draining 2-acre (0.8 hectare) watershed. 21:26 How Reese is turning that flood flow problem into a solution in a road-side rain-irrigated verge urban forest 22:28 Curb cut diverts street runoff into the street-side rain garden 23:38 Temperature of exposed gravel in summer was 153˚F (67˚C) resulting is accelerated soil-moisture loss to evaporation 24:25 Mycosponge every 2-inches (50-cm) of drop in stepped meandering basins of street-side rain garden 25:39 More resources REESE BAKER'S COMPANY, The Rain Catcher Inc. https://theraincatcherinc.com/ LIKE THIS VIDEO AND SUBSCRIBE http://www.youtube.com/user/Harvestin...
