Case Study:
Soak It Up, Philly! Stormwater TreeTrenches
Soak It Up! Stormwater tree trenches are connected by a trench beneath the sidewalk that stores stormwater and also waters the trees.
Water flows down the street and enters the trench trhrough the stormwater inblet, where a perforated pipe distributes water throughout the trench.
The tree's root system uses the rainwater to grow.
A storage trench beneath the ground holds the water. Water is absorbed into the earth or flows slowly into the sewer.
