Rain Garden is an element of ABC Waters design features which functions to detain rainfall runoffs before it is released into the drains.

Rain garden reduces the risk of flooding as it slows down the flow of runoffs.

In addition, plants and soil media filtration techniques can help to remove pollutants from the rainfall runoffs.

The features also beautify the environment and provide a habitat for butterflies and other species.

There are two categories of plants in the RP Rain Garden, namely Rain Garden Vegetation at the depressed zone and Landscaping Vegetation at the periphery of the garden.

Click on the icons to view various species of plants in the RP Rain Garden.
