The subject material is well researched and the case examples are on point. Excellent reference for today's storm water management professional.

I picked up this book thinking it would be all about landscaping around the house in relationship to rain water. It is anything but that. This book is actually a collection of serious essays about rain water management in urban settings, from an urban planning perspective. Most of the chapters swirl around the epicenter of municipalities in the Pacific Northwest -- Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, etc. -- and each chapter presents some different but overlapping perspectives on moving rain water productively out of the way of urban demands for such things as parking lots, sidewalks, and buildings.As you can see in my images, many of the chapters focus on creating landscaped, vegetation depressions and/or swales, always with a buried and hidden architecture of rock and drainage pipe.So from this last description you can see that residential readers who want to work on the areas around their houses can actually learn and extrapolate a lot from this book. While most of us don't need to add large parking lots to our houses, we do need to enact (on smaller scales) much of what is described in this book. So even if you're "just" a homeowner, I think you can pull some interesting ideas from this book.Note that at least one chapter deals with a more arid area (Arizona), so it's not only geared toward designing for high-rainfall areas. But the Pacific Northwest is certainly the main concern of this book.

Artful Rainwater Design is beautifully illustrated yet extremely informative and well presented. It lives up to the title, thoughtfully educating on the various ways that rainwater is collected, showcased, stored, and disseminated. From watersheds to storm drainage, nature preserves to art pieces. There's something for everyone here: landscapers, scientists, policymakers, environmental advocates, urban planners, and even home gardeners looking for inspiration.The book breaks down as follows:Part 1: The history of storm water management and background for artful rainwater design.Part 2: Achieving amenity with artful rainwater design (education, recreation, safety, public relations, and aesthetic richness in artful rainwater design).Part 3: Achieving utility with artful rainwater design (gray and green infrastructure techniques for sustainable storm water management; the ARD utility axioms)Part 4: Case studies of artful rainwater design. Included: Educational applications, recreational applications, safety applications, public relations designs, and aesthetic richness examples.Although highly technical, the case studies are definitely the highlight of the book. Needs and design are merged at places such as The Dell at the University of Virginia, Rain Garden at the Oregon Convention Center, Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, and the Queens Botanical Garden. Examples of great rainwater designs cross the US - from Arizona's deserts to rainforest Portland.Though mostly of an industrial nature, I learned quite a bit and, even more, greatly inspired. This isn't a book full of pretty pictures; great pains were taken to thoroughly discuss the subjects presented. As well, inner City to nature locations give testimony to the scope of the book.In all, a fascinating book that is well researched, nicely photographed, and useful for both education and inspirational purposes. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

This is a book for communities and businesses who are willing to think outside the box. What can you do to ease drought and help flooding? What can you provide as a first flush to help filter road and other contamination from water...and not follow the make it go away crowd?This is a useful tool in business and urban design. It is likely above the capacity of homeowners but an excellent manual to find workable solutions to water issues that affect us all.
