Simple Stormwater Practices for Your Yard

Twain Harte Meadows Park demonstrates nature-based stormwater solutions that slow, soak, and clean rainwater before it reaches Twain Harte Creek and the Lake. These practices reduce erosion, improve water quality, conserve water, and make your property more fire resilient.

You can do the same at home! Simple strategies include:

• Rain gardens and bioswales to capture and filter runoff
• Rain barrels or cisterns to save water for irrigation
• Drought- and fire-resistant plants to support healthy soil and reduce wildfire risk
• Greywater systems to reuse household water safely
