What happens to Stormwater?
Think about how the water cycle works. When stormwater falls to the ground, it either streams down to the nearest body of water, evaporates, or infiltrates through the soil.
However, when stormwater reaches man-made surfaces, such as concrete and buildings - which are often solid and level - the cycle is disrupted and stormwater runoff is increased. This is harmful in multiple ways, affecting people, the environment, and even buildings.
