Abstract

The urbanization process leads to the degradation of urban waters, due to the increase in diffuse pollution carried into streams. Green infrastructure techniques have been used as an alternative for cities to control river pollution and adapt to climate change. The Rain Garden stands out for reducing surface runoff and filtering out diffuse pollution. Despite being used for over 30 years in the USA, it is still little known in Brazil. This work aims to present recent research on rain gardens, and encourage the dissemination of this practice in Brazil. For this, a systematic review on the subject was carried out. The search resulted in 69 articles, from 11 different countries on the themes: (1) Installation and operation costs; (2) Water holding capacity; (3) Pollution control; (4) Construction and operational aspects and (5) Socio-environmental factors. The most current publications are more concerned with the costs of maintaining structures, in addition to evaluation methods on their efficiency. In Brazil, there is a need for more studies on the subject, in order to improve knowledge and increase the dissemination of the technique.
