Storm water runoff is rainwater that flows across the land and is routed through our drainage systems into our creeks, lakes and wetlands. Urbanization reduces the amount of water that can be absorbed into the ground through the increase of impervious or hard surfaces such as roads, driveways, sidewalks, walkways and patios and roofs. The impervious surfaces increase the amount of storm water runoff flowing into our watercourses that, if left uncontrolled, can result in increased risks to flooding, erosion, watercourse health and aquatic life.
