Sustainable Landscapes

• Rain Barrels

  Capture rainwater from your roof to reduce runoff and save the water for when it's dry.

• Rain Gardens

  These gardens contain native plants and are designed to temporarily hold rainwater runoff to allow it to soak into the ground.

• Pervious Parking Surfaces

  Parking lots and driveways paved with pervious surfaces reduce runoff by allowing water to percolate into the underlying soil.

• Green Roofs

  Green roofs provide many benefits including: energy savings, runoff reduction and habitat for wildlife in urban areas.

• Post Construction Best Management Practices (BMPs)

  Structural BMPs are permanent stormwater treatment features incorporated into the design of newly developed or redeveloped properties.

• Grants and Cost Share Programs

  Information on grants and cost-share opportunities that have been made available by the City of Lincoln, Watershed Management Division.
