Stormwater runoff is rain water we receive during heavy downpours that needs to be managed throughout the region. Sidewalks, driveways, rooftops, parking lots and streets are all impervious surfaces that prohibit rain and snow melt from soaking into the ground, leading to stormwater runoff. SD1 works with community leaders to manage flooding, erosion and water pollution caused by stormwater runoff.
