The coordinates will take you to a large, complex rain garden. A rain garden slows down storm runoff. By doing so a rain garden provides many beneficial effects. For example slow moving water can better be absorbed by the porous soil, thus ground water recharging as well as flood control are enhanced.The soil and the life associated with the soil helps to control pollution. Rain gardens are also effective in trapping sediments.
