Are you realising😂

I'm seeing a trend with all the people in this video. There's something off about them.

Great work on Elmer Ave. Lucky folks. I'll be out on my own with a shovel and my wheel barrow. Hope you're right that "anyone can do this!" Yikes. Wish me luck.

What happens to local water quality when a swale is bulldozed deeper, flooded, and a marina built around it with an asphalt roadway contributing runoff for 60+ years?

Slow the flow, make more dough.

Good idea....where do I find more details HOW TO?

Can you ever have too much water in a swale?

do all people from california act and look this smug?

It is a great idea, but they don't tell us how to do it? what plants are good to plant in a swale. Just a typical government PR type video.

Where can we get more info on the storm drain in.

How long did you leave the sheet mulching on before planting? Right away?

Yo who's the one person who disliked this? Like "Mmm... I prefer my pavements as NON permeable, thank you very much"

More of a promotion of the idea than a how-to but still a cool video

Interesting how she just slid in the info about the upgraded storm water drain system to help with the flow of water. I’m all for conservation, but be honest about what you are actually doing. None of the changes in that neighborhood would have made any real difference had the city not fixed the actual problem - an out-of-date and/or damaged storm water system.

I love this! Great video. I’m creating a dry creek bed and a rain garden at the end of it. So excited.🌿✨

omg that music

Swale ... Deutsch www.permakulturtipps.de/permakultur-abc/swale/ Zitat: ... "Swale" ist ein Begriff aus dem englischen Sprachraum und wird in der Permakultur oft verwendet. Gemeint ist dabei eigentlich nichts anderes als ein Graben bzw. eine Vertiefung in der Landschaft, in der sich Wasser sammeln kann. Swales sind ein beliebtes Steckenpferd zertifizierter Permakulturdesigner. ...

Great video, I am starting a rain garden project soon.

Thank you for this video. I am gardening for the first time and I am seeking ways to gain knowledge. This is helpful.

Really boring😒

i like how she mentioned porous pavers...the water goes into the cracks and recharges ground water...beautiful

a rain garden recharges the groundwater...excellent

Great video!

Need help building swales.

A swale is a trench dug on contour, so it can hold water. A spoon drain is what you build with a small angle, to take the water away. It was a little confusing at the beginning, when the man said they were installing a swale, but it wasn't to capture water - more to collect it and move it away. That's actually called a spoon drain, not a swale. The difference is whether the trench is dug on contour (completely level) or on an angle. They can look virtually identical, but it's how you pivot the land, which alters their definition.

How's the best way to decide the best location for your swales I live on a farm.

So, a small college in Pennsylvania, named California University of Pennsylvania, drains its newly constructed asphalt parking lots at its football stadium and student housing complexes into the nearest stream, which then travels to a larger stream, and then to the Monongahela River.

Give me a shout-out

At a company I worked for, we got a very interesting car park. There is a big gravel installation to store water and seep it into ground below the parking deck. So far, in the first 10 years no water went down the storm drain.

Cool video. The audio is way too loud though

I sent this video to my town's Environmental Coordinator. I hope she gets some ideas! :D

a swale is basicly a water retention ditch on contour.

Useless video. City propaganda is all.

this was not a how to video

all you smart folks talking all this junk and ain't nothing gettin done! thanks for nothing smart people you guys suck!

25 years in wastewater and storm water treatment on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state. It's time to start pushing for swales, rain gardens, and permeable paving. I'm retired now, and have seen years of paving it, pumping it, treating it, then dumping it. We have to slow the flow. Best of luck to all of my former brothers and sisters in arms.

Love it! This is my upcoming project!

Why you stop making videos?

These swales can be designed in new subdivisions with roads and swales on contour. You can put walking paths parallel to the swles AND PLANT FRUIT TREES along the swales. There's a subdivision in CA that does this that's talked about by Geoff Lawton.

Great information. One change I would like to see California Government incorporated into their water conversation design would be to PLANT EDIBLES and NOT just ornamentals. People cannot eat ornamentals. By incorporating FRUIT TREES, BERRY BUSHES, HERBS, and VEGETABLES one can achieve the same beneficial rain garden that is beautiful and productive. Plant food not lawns. Enjoy the bounty of your rain garden past the eyes to access fresh, healthy, organic produce just a few steps from one's kitchen. Not only is it convenient, we could reduce carbon pollution through the import of food, reduce the chemical pollution from mono farming, and we would know exactly where our food is harvested and the conditions under which it was grown.

cool stuff. Really helpful for people who suffer increasingly from drought.

A great video on how stormwater runoff impacts our daily lives

Sharing this video on Stormwater Runoff!

loved the practical tips and hands on approach to this DIY video.

.

Well done video. Thank you. I like the suggestions for using the paper layer to stop re-growth of the grass.Maybe you can do a follow-up on how to change your irrigation systems following a conversion from grass to low water use? I think that is a critical piece that is not commonly discussed. My problem is that to do this basically prevents my kids from having an area to play (slip n slide, party inflatable 'jumpers', etc). Maybe someday....
