I focus on bio retention cells, also known as rain gardens, as an effective solution to alleviate storm water runoff. For the purpose of this project, I am a hypothetical Project Engineer for the City of Manhattan reporting on a solution for the recent floods. Prior to this formal report, I wrote a proposal identifying the need for the research. I wrote the report to two main specific target audiences, expert engineers and business executives. I start the report by explaining the problems associated with the recent floods in Manhattan. My research analyzed the efficiency of bio retention cells to alleviate storm water runoff. I also reported the cost to design, construct, and maintain bio retention cells. I end my report with my final recommendations and conclusions for the City of Manhattan.This Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
