Stormwater management is the process of managing stormwater runoff to minimize the potential for flooding and erosion, as well as improving the quality of the stormwater that does runoff.
Stormwater management is important because it can help protect people and property from the dangers of flooding, while also helping to improve water quality by reducing the number of pollutants that enter waterways. There are many tools used by construction experts to manage stormwater. The tools used to manage stormwater typically have multiple benefits.
