Rain gardens like the new one above in Owen Brown near Lake Elkhorn are one example.
Storm ponds like the one being rebuilt in Owen Brown are important in controlling the flow of rain water runoff. Many of these storm ponds were designed to be temporary while new homes were being built nearby. Because of that materials were not used that could last many years. This pond has been in place for over 30 years and the metal pipes that were originally used are now being replaced with concrete ones that are designed to last longer.
Going by Jackson Pond in Long Reach pictured above you would never realize that this was also designed as a temporary storm pond. It is now an attractive feature to this community.
P.S.
