stormwater

listen to the pronunciation of stormwater
İngilizce - İngilizce
Water that is not absorbed into soil and rapidly flows downstream, increasing the level of waterways
The flow of water that results from precipitation and which occurs immediately following rainfall or as a result of snowmelt
runoff generated as a result of precipitation (rain or snow)
Water off the roads and roof of houses Must not be connected to sewerage system Often gets polluted by human urban activities
means surface run-off that is the result of precipitation
rainwater which has run off roads, the ground, roofs, footpaths etc and is usually carried away by drains
Rainwater and snowmelt that runs off impervious surfaces rather than infiltrate into the soil Through a drainage system of underground pipes, stormwater carries nutrients, fine soils, plant debris, drippings from vehicles, and other substances from the drainage basin Most of Eagan lakes, ponds, and wetlands are connected to the stormwater system
All the water that occurs on the land and in the soil during storms In urban watersheds most stormwater is runoff
That portion of precipitation that does not naturally percolate into the ground or evaporate, but flows via overland flow, interflow, channels or pipes into a defined surface water channel or a constructed infiltration facility
refers to that water which runs off urban and semi urban developments following rain
Water that is generated by rainfall and is often routed into drain systems in urban areas to prevent flooding
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
Water that directly results from a rainfall event
- That portion of rainfall that does not infiltrate into the soil
rain water that runs off roofs, roads, driveways and other impermeable surfaces associated with development
That portion of rainfall that does not infiltrate into the soil
water collected in a system of pipes which drain roads and industrial or trade premises Stormwater may contain contaminants present on drained surfaces
Runoff from streets, parking lots, parks, as well as agricultural and urban areas into a water body
Rainwater which runs off the land, frequently carrying various forms of pollution such as rubbish, animal droppings and dissolved chemicals This untreated water is carried in stormwater channels and discharged directly into creeks, rivers, the harbour and the ocean
Precipitation from rain or snow that accumulates in a natural or man-made watercourse or conveyance system
Rain, which runs off roads, yards and roofs and down gutters into stormwater grates Stormwater picks up silt and other contaminants as it runs over these surfaces It is piped/runs untreated into streams and harbours More info
The runoff from rainstorms Stormwater contains the highest amount of pollutants early in a storm; the first one inch of runoff, or "first flush," contains over eighty percent of the total pollutant load
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
