We have divided them in to eight categories: retention basins, rainwater harvesting, constructed wetlands, detention basins, bioswales, rain gardens, green roofs, and permeable pavement. Retention and detention ponds are fundamental green infrastructure technologies. Both retention…

Greeley,CO gets 14 inches of rain per year, and in snowfall we collect about 41 inches of snow. Our idea is that we put two 52 gallon rain barrels at the end of our high school.
