What Is Stormwater Management?

Stormwater management is the effort to reduce stormwater runoff, rainwater or melted snow from impervious surfaces such as streets, parking lots, driveways, rooftops, lawns, and other areas, as well as to improve water quality. When stormwater is absorbed into the soil, it is filtered and eventually replenishes aquifers or flows into streams and rivers. However, when heavy rains fall, the saturated ground produces excess moisture, which runs across the surface and into storm sewers and road ditches. This water frequently carries debris, chemicals, bacteria, eroded soil, and other pollutants into streams, rivers, lakes, or wetlands. Runoff quickly overwhelms natural channels and streams, causing channel erosion, localized flooding, and property damage. Pollutants such as motor oil and household cleaners can be transported by stormwater from impervious surfaces. With little or no treatment, this water flows directly from the streets into our creeks and rivers.

Why Is Stormwater Management Important?

Prevent an increase in the likelihood of flooding. Effective stormwater management aids in the control of flooding. Areas that practice stormwater management have a lower risk of flooding and, as a result, are less likely to suffer the negative effects of flooding. Flooding is more likely in urban areas and other areas with less vegetation during heavy rains unless proper management techniques are used. Prevent erosion. Stormwater management helps to prevent excessive erosion by reducing the speed and volume of water flowing into streams. If stormwater is not managed properly, it can cause excessive erosion, preventing the stream from performing its normal function of transporting water and sediment. Stormwater can reduce land productivity by washing away the rich soil cover. Stormwater runoff, particularly in sloppy areas, can cause soil erosion, rendering agricultural land unfit for cultivation. Keep water quality in check. Stormwater management is essential for ensuring water quality. Grease, oil, pesticides, metals, plastic, and pesticides from gardens and normal daily use tend to accumulate on surfaces. If stormwater is not managed properly, contaminants can be carried to water sources such as streams, lakes, oceans, and even groundwater.
