A Growing Concern-Striking the Right Balance with Stormwater BMP Tools


A More Effective Stormwater Management System State and city governments must use every available option to protect and enhance their jurisdiction’s water supply.

Taking care of the trees is one way of managing runoff, and using better stormwater management products is another. Ensure Your Compliance Implementing a solid stormwater management system not only ensures that you comply with government mandates and protect yourself from running into unnecessary fees, it also means you are doing your part toward establishing a sustainable urban environment.

EPA to City Governments: Implement Better Stormwater Solutions Today


While flooding is preventable through effective stormwater solutions, floodwaters are still regular problems for known flood-prone cities like Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as well as other locales throughout the nation. In fact, only a few inches of rain in the Baton Rouge area were needed last May 9th to fully submerge several streets in floodwaters, which was aggravated two days later when water levels rose even higher to fill up parking lots and make cars crawl through ponding water.

Flood-Prone Fayetteville, NC in Need of Stormwater Systems Upgrade


While floodwaters may regularly hamper basic commercial and public services in locales like Fayetteville, there are more reasons why efficient stormwater systems are crucial. According to the Human Services division of the State of New Jersey, the force of six-inch deep, swiftly moving floodwater can be strong enough to sweep people off their feet. Thus, proper stormwater management, which aims to prevent flooding and reduce water pollution, is vital to thriving communities.

Green Home Tips: Efficient Storm Water Management Begins at Your Lawn


Stormwater passes through your home, but eventually it will still be redirected back to rivers, lakes, and other natural bodies of water via your drainage system – as it does this, it may end up carrying waste, chemicals, pesticides, and other substances that might be harmful to the environment. Therefore, the goal of efficient stormwater management BMP solutions like StormChamber® by HydroLogic Solutions is to make sure that stormwater pollution is prevented as such systems regulate the flow of runoff, store water to avert flooding, and maintain water quality by filtering out the sediments. As a homeowner, you have a part to play in this as well – starting with what you do on your lawn.
