Ampitheater This gravel ampitheater at a school in Malmö is used as a play area and gathering place most of the time. However, when it rains the water from the neighboring roofs and hard surfaces flows through the stone lined gutter into the ampitheather, which is transformed into a small pool. The outlet drain, at the front of the photo, handles excess flow if the water level in the basin becomes too high. (photo by Denise Fong, Candela) Ampitheater
Closeup of ampitheater This is a closeup of the inlet to the ampitheater. The runoff from surrounding rooftops flows into this enclosure, where it drains through the gravel layer into the ground, thereby minimizing the load on the storm water system. During heavier rains the excess water will overflow into the stormwater inlet drain, at the foreground of the photo. (photo by Mark Brumbaugh, Brumbaugh and Associates) Closeup of ampitheater
