At Mirabeau Water Garden, Sherwood is working closely with the design team to create a functional and aesthetic landscape that incorporated subtle, yet effective, sustainable water management techniques that collect, store, convey and filter the stormwater before being infiltrated back into the soil. The water stored within the park will offset flooding within the watershed while helping to restore the groundwater elevations in an area of the city that has experienced much subsidence over the recent years. This project will revitalize the surrounding neighborhoods by provide a public space for educational and recreational purposes in a vital area while at the same time reducing flooding and improving the city’s stormwater infrastructure system.
