Strategy Description
Encompasses the implementation of proactive measures and practices to effectively control and mitigate the impact of stormwater runoff on water quality and hydrological systems. This includes the deployment of various strategies such as green infrastructure, detention basins, permeable pavements, and vegetated swales to manage stormwater at its source. Specific projects falling under this strategy may involve the installation of rain gardens, bioswales, and constructed wetlands to capture and treat stormwater, the construction of retention ponds or infiltration trenches to slow down runoff and enhance groundwater recharge, and the implementation of erosion control measures to prevent sedimentation and pollutant transport into water bodies.
