City of New Orleans - Green Infrastructure

Planter boxes, rain gardens, native trees, bioswales, detention basins, and dry ponds can collect, slow, and filter rainwater, preventing it from overwhelming the drainage system. Trees help reduce rain runoff by absorbing water. A single mature bald cypress tree can absorb over 500 gallons of water per day
