Children love playing with water, it can intrigue and captivate imagination. We have harvested rain water from this school roof and used it to make a simple, cost effective water play feature. The rain water comes from a downpipe through a series of SUDS features which slow the flow of water whilst cleansing away any silt or pollutants before flowing down a long shallow rill to a wide gravel pit. A wide boardwalk allows pedal access to the whole site and is a great spot to sit at the edge of the gravel pit. We have sown wildflower seed on the bare earth areas which will look colourful next summer.
