Stormwater management systems are designed to control and manage the flow of rainwater and melted snow. These systems help prevent flooding, reduce water pollution, and protect local ecosystems. They often include features like retention ponds, drainage ditches, and infiltration basins to capture and filter stormwater before it enters natural waterways. Effective stormwater management also involves planning and maintenance to ensure that urban development does not overwhelm natural drainage systems. Techniques such as green roofs, permeable pavements, and rain gardens can be integrated into urban landscapes to enhance water absorption and reduce runoff, promoting a healthier environment.
