Green roof working as a blue roof
One of the many benefits of a green roof is the way in which it manages the egress of rain water from the rooftop. The growing medium absorbs initial rainfall. During heavier rainy spells, the reservoir and drainage board fills with water. The stored water is then taken up by the plants in drier weather. During storm events or prolonged periods of precipitation, the reservoir and drainage board fills and water flows out onto the waterproofing where it can flow freely to the outlets to leave the roof.
