Natural stormwater management

Natural Stormwater Management is an approach that focuses on using natural processes to handle rainwater and prevent flooding. Instead of relying solely on pipes and concrete systems, it incorporates green spaces like parks, gardens, and wetlands to absorb and filter rainwater. This helps reduce runoff, improve water quality, and enhance local ecosystems. By mimicking nature, such as creating bioswales or rain gardens, communities can effectively manage stormwater while promoting biodiversity and reducing the risk of pollution in rivers and lakes. Ultimately, it creates a healthier environment for both people and wildlife.
