stormwater
All the water that occurs on the land and in the soil during storms In urban watersheds most stormwater is runoff
stormwater

stormwater
refers to that water which runs off urban and semi urban developments following rain
stormwater
Water that is generated by rainfall and is often routed into drain systems in urban areas to prevent flooding
stormwater
the water discharged as a result of rainwater Specific problems caused by stormwater run-off include pollution of our surface and ground waters, as well as flooding
stormwater

stormwater
Water from rain or melting snow Many communities are concerned about the management of stormwater in developed areas because the amount of impervious surface has increased, thus reducing the area where rain water may naturally infiltrate the soil
