Greener Cities, Cleaner Waterways: Bioretention Transforms Urban Stormwater Management
This study discusses using plants to help manage stormwater, known as bioretention. Scientists have discovered that planting certain native plants in special areas can help filter and remove pollutants from stormwater, making it cleaner. This method is called bioretention and is a green way to tackle water pollution. Instead of using chemicals, these plants naturally clean up the water, benefiting ecosystems and reducing pollution. The research shows that by using bioretention areas with specific plants, we can effectively manage stormwater while supporting the environment.
