Additional Information

What is stormwater?

Stormwater is the runoff resulting from a rain event. Problems with stormwater occur when a large amount of rainfall happens in a short period of time. The ground becomes saturated and cannot absorb the water, so it becomes runoff. Impervious surfaces such as concrete and asphalt prevent the ground from absorbing rainfall, increasing the amount of runoff.
