BRONX STORMWATER PLANTERS


Last summer, EDD and the NYC Soil & Water Conservation District (NYCSWCD) designed and constructed stormwater planters in the Bronx.

In the video below, Eric Rothstein and Shino Tanikawa (District Manager for the NYCSWCD) walk us through the design and explain how the hybrid retention and detention system works. Eric and Shino discuss the multiple benefits of green infrastructure, primarily CSO abatement and the resulting water quality improvement off-site in the rivers and bays of New York City.
