Integrating Green Infrastructure into Storm Water Treatment Plans
Stormwater treatment is a crucial aspect of urban planning and environmental conservation. It involves managing and treating the water that runs off from streets, rooftops, and other surfaces during and after rainfall. As urban areas expand and impervious surfaces like asphalt and concrete increase, managing stormwater treatment has become more critical to prevent flooding, pollution, and erosion. What is Stormwater Treatment? Stormwater treatment refers to the processes and technologies used to manage the quality and quantity of runoff water. This runoff can carry pollutants such as oils, heavy metals, and debris, which can harm aquatic ecosystems and water supplies. Effective stormwater treatment aims to mitigate these effects by removing contaminants and managing the flow of water to reduce the risk of flooding. The Importance of Stormwater Management Flood Prevention: Uncontrolled stormwater runoff can lead to severe flooding, damaging properties, infrastructure, and natural habi...
