Surface Water Management

Surface Water Management involves controlling and directing rainwater and runoff to prevent flooding, protect waterways, and preserve land. It includes strategies like creating drainage systems, retention ponds, and green infrastructure to manage excess water. Proper management reduces erosion, filters pollutants, and ensures water flows safely away from homes, roads, and other infrastructure. Essentially, it helps maintain a balanced water cycle in urban and rural areas, safeguarding communities and the environment from flood damage and water quality issues.
