Instead, rain hits impervious surfaces (roofs, concrete, asphalt etc.) and becomes stormwater runoff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional, or historic methods of stormwater management involve fast conveyance; runoff is transported rapidly through pipes into streams, rivers, and wetlands. And although these systems can be efficient, they are not resilient to large rainfall events where the volume of water entering the pipe and stream network can exceed a system\u2019s designed capacity. When this occurs, pipe networks and waterbodies become overloaded, causing widespread flooding and erosion.\u00a0 Roads become rivers, and flooding can cause injury and death, as well as astronomical financial costs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stormwater runoff also has negative impacts on local biodiversity by transporting pollutants like oil, trash, bacteria, and nitrogen into local waterways, harming plant life and wildlife.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An alternative to traditional stormwater management is green infrastructure. Green infrastructure enables rainwater to soak or infiltrate into the ground close to where it fell and\/or retains rainwater for reuse. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/greencommunitiescanada.org\/programs\/living-cities-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Green<\/strong> <strong>Communities Canada<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> states:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><strong>&#8220;Green infrastructure helps make urban areas work more like natural systems.

Underground perforated detention pipe and a 6\u201d deep gravel bed hold up to 50,000 gallons of rain (2\u201d of rain per hour). Water infiltrates on site into the well-draining base and is returned to the ground water aquifer. Only after runoff exceeds the rate of 50,000 gallons or 2\u201d per hour, it is released, delayed, via an emergency overflow outlet to the city sewer, thus reducing the burden on the sewer system and decreasing the likelihood of CSO occurring.\u201d - terrain-nyc<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4fc7e685 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4fc7e685\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2aca8ac4\" data-id=\"2aca8ac4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-659c9e7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"659c9e7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3407445146931522\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Mid-post ad -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3407445146931522\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3484305352\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7873f51a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7873f51a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3b061aa\" data-id=\"3b061aa\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2aa269e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2aa269e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Online Resources:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-622b380f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"622b380f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-62dd2e7a\" data-id=\"62dd2e7a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10e416f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10e416f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a plethora of stormwater resources available online.
