Philadelphia: Going Green to Manage Stormwater
-
“The Waterview Recreation Center stormwater project in Germantown is part of the TTF Watershed. ITs goal was to manage 1 inch of runoff from a large impervious area: 12,340 square feet of street and sidewalk and 1,030 square feet of rooftop. This was accomplished by adding three LID Strategies. A 2-foot-by-100-foot infiltration tree trench parallels the sidewalk. The sidewalk was replaced with 310 feet of porous concrete. The 2-foot-by-64-foot planter box handles runoff from the roof.”
