This concept{\textemdash}{\textquotedblleft}artful rainwater design{\textquotedblright}{\textemdash}both addresses stormwater management in environmentally responsible ways and creates expressive landscapes that celebrate stormwater. Through an analysis of 20 exemplary designs, the goals and objectives of stormwater management as a site amenity, as well as specific design techniques for its accomplishment, are explained. Five amenity goals drawn from the case studies{\textemdash}education, recreation, safety, public relations, and aesthetic richness{\textemdash}are identified, categorized, and described. The paper concludes by discussing the future of artful rainwater design.}, issn = {0277-2426}, URL = {https://lj.uwpress.org/content/27/2/268}, eprint = {https://lj.uwpress.org/content/27/2/268.full.pdf}, journal = {Landscape Journal} }
