Intro to Stormwater Management
/Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) work to not only reduce flooding but to protect and preserve the quality of our downstream aquatic resources. Stormwater BMPs help to reduce stormwater runoff, which decreases sediment and nutrient transport, prevents streambank erosion, and recharges groundwater. As land development increases throughout the U.S. and government regulators continue to tighten standards, effective stormwater management practices are crucial not only for compliance but also for protecting our aquatic resources.
