Stormwater Runoff Reduction
Reduce runoff impact
Reducing stormwater runoff uses permeable materials, rain gardens, and capture to lower flooding and pollution into waterways.
- permeable
- pavers
- rain garden
- barrels
- erosion
Use Permeable Surfaces
Choose permeable paving or gravel where possible.
Slow and Capture
Install rain barrels and direct downspouts into vegetated areas.
Plant Smart
Use native plants and contouring to absorb and slow flow.
