Rain gardens fill with water during and after storms. The water percolates into the soil and dissipates through a process called evapotranspiration, a combination of evaporation and the release of moisture from plants. Still, it is a good idea to plan for water discharge into an area away from buildings. Seasonal pools like this one are a good solution, and they're a valuable habitat for amphibians and other wildlife. These ponds dry up in the summer, so they don't encourage mosquitoes.

WHERE TO PLACE A RAIN GARDEN. Look for existing low points in your yard at least 10 feet away from property lines and houses, but near the impervious surface that's causing the runoff. The size of your rain garden will depend on local rainfall, the tributary area and the soil type. Poorly draining soils can be amended with mulch, which functions a bit like a giant sponge, holding water where it can be picked up by plants.
