| Stormwater runoff occurs naturally after every storm event; however, traditional development practices have created many impervious surfaces (e.g., buildings, parking lots, streets) that increase runoff volume and flow rate. Conventional stormwater management practices focus on collecting runoff into centralized channels and conveying it as quickly as possible to local bodies of water. This type of conveyance system decreases the opportunity for stormwater to naturally infiltrate back into the ground. It ... |
