Livingston Township Public Library Demonstration Rain Garden
Översikt
History:
The Livingston Township Public Library rain garden was built as part of the New Jersey Water Savers program, which was established through a partnership between the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. This partnership was created to provide leadership to promote water conservation throughout New Jersey. The New Jersey Water Savers identified and installed multiple demonstration rain garden sites and developed workshops specifically to educate residents about the water needs of New Jersey plant life and how they can do their part to curtail outdoor water waste.
Type of Runoff Managed:
