Stormwater Fundamentals Series - Bioretention

This is session #7 of the ‘Stormwater Fundamental’ series in 2024, focussing on bioretention systems.
Bioretention systems (also called biofiltration, biofilters, bioretention basins, bioswales and raingardens) are one of the most commonly used stormwater treatment asset given their flexible design, space efficiency and applicability at a variety of scales.
This webinar, held on 3rd July 2024, provides an overview of:
- How bioretention works
- Key components of bioretention
- Review of performance monitoring studies
- Common operational problems
- Recommendations on how to do bioretention better
This webinar included a presentation from Ocean Protect’s Brad Dalrymple, followed by Q&A with attendees.

Hi mate,
Do you typically recommend the use of flexible ag drain pipes or rigid perforated PVC pipes in bioretention systems? Have you encountered many instances where subsurface drainage pipes are omitted? I am currently working with such a system.
