About RainSmart

Chattanooga's RainSmart Rewards is a collection of programs designed to encourage residents to adopt sustainable land management practices focused on stormwater mitigation. We provide educational resources and financial incentives to promote the use of native plants, rain gardens, rain barrels, and other eco-friendly practices. Our goal is to engage Chattanooga residents in efforts to improve water quality, support biodiversity, and promote the restoration of local ecosystems.

Did you know?

Stormwater runoff is rainwater that falls on impervious surfaces (e.g., roofs, driveways, roads, etc.) and flows over the surface of the land. Impervious surfaces prevent the water from being absorbed into the ground. Excess water runs off those surfaces and can carry  pollutants like trash, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, sediment (soil), waste, etc. into our creeks and streams! Stormwater runoff can also add to erosion and flooding issues as it overburdens our natural waterways.
