Managing Stormwater
When natural areas such as meadows, fields, and woodlands are developed with houses, streets, and stores, there is less area for rain to sink into the ground. Instead, when rain hits the buildings and pavement, it simply runs off.
Stormwater management deals with this runoff — its volume, velocity, and affect on water quality.
Property owners, engineers, and municipalities are all impacted by water runoff in some way, whether by erosion of land, sedimentation of streams, or flooding of lawns or buildings.
