UK rain garden guide

Description

Everyone can help address the impact of climate change without making major lifestyle changes. This guide shows how changing the way you manage your outside space can help reduce localised flooding whilst at the same time providing an enjoyable area for the benefit of both wildlife and people.
Providing rain gardens is part of a growing desire to have more sustainable drainage systems. Other current initiatives include installing a “green roof” on top of buildings in urban spaces and reducing the amount of non permeable surfacing for example in car parks.

Thames Water is pleased to sponsor this guide.
