Introducing Green Roof DETENTION! (Ep. 3)

What is GREEN ROOF stormwater DETENTION? (Episode 3) How can we make a green roof achieve what a tank or a cistern normally achieve? Is it possible to get rid of outdated grey infrastructure and replace it with green infrastructure? Detention deals with runoff. Detention delays the outflow of the water in a predictable and reliable manner so that the peak of the storm can pass before the water is released. Detention prevents flooding. There are many different types of green and blue Detention Roofs on the market, each with its own merits. A single project can benefit from a combination of different technologies. Here are a few of these technologies explained: https://www.purple-roof.com/post/deta... These videos are for everyone and do not require background knowledge in engineering or hydrology. We made this green roof stormwater video series with the hope that more people get access to this knowledge and understand the great potential of green roofs, not only as tools to increase urban biodiversity, cool our cities, capture pollution, & increase roof membrane life spans, but also as fully-fledged stormwater tools that generate a clear ROI in urban areas. Listen to find out how! For greener & healthier cities! If you are interested in some further reading: What is green roof detention? https://www.purple-roof.com/post/what...
