@joewynne@mindly.social Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm in a city in the SF Bay Area. Through a quirk of the 1940s implemented road, gutter, sidewalk and storm drain placement in front of my house, I struggle to keep gutter water off my yard as, every fall, it flows to/in my garage. After years of "working" with the city to try to get resolution, I've decided to try to get the city to agree to let me "harvest" that water as a matter of course. This article really helps my case and gives me a pretty much complete set of requirements. The maintenance manual on the Tucson city website for Green Stormwater Infrastructure is a complete homeowner tool to do it. https://assets.tucsonaz.gov/share/gis-docs/s2s/GSI_MX_Guide_-_Second_Edition_-_04-11-2025.pdf Copy the pamphlet, adjust for invasives and plant hardiness zone and I've got my submittal. Fantastic! Again, thank you so much for sharing this. Best.
