Efficient Stormwater Solutions to Solve Urban Runoff Pollution Problem


States like California rely in a large part on an agricultural economy, so it’s no surprise that fertilizers, insecticides and other crop chemicals also contribute to most of the cities’ pollution problem. The harmful chemicals get deposited into the soil, which then erodes or gets carried off by rain to rivers or lakes, polluting these bodies of water and endangering any life therein. Thanks to the efforts of city officials and private companies alike, today there are many reliable stormwater management solutions that establishments and cities can make use of. While it’s counterintuitive to cull progress, natural resources should always be taken care of.

How Storm Water Systems Work and the Current Environmental Initiative


Given the modern engineering marvels in many infrastructures, devising efficient stormwater systems would not be that far behind. In fact, there are existing systems that are both efficient and environment-friendly, which make use of soil instead of trees to trap stormwater. An example of such system is HydroLogic Solutions’ StormChamber® that can be utilized in residential or commercial areas. Using an aptly-designed network of pipelines and microorganisms in the soil as a natural filtration system, the outflow of water is managed and stored while pollutants in the water that could damage bodies of water are cleaned out.

Storm Water Management Saves Rainwater and Money for Those Dry Spells


The time of day you choose to water the garden matters greatly. It is advisable to water early in the morning or late in the evening to prevent evaporation. This gives the water time to seep down to your garden’s root level. Investing in storm water management BMP and energy-efficient appliances is good, but educating your household about the importance of conservation is even better. You’ll pat yourself on the back when you realize how much you’ve saved.

Quality Stormwater BMP: Solutions are within Your Reach, Seize the Day


When you have the opportunity to protect your household from the grey or black water that comprises storm water runoff, a provider of stormwater BMP such as HydroLogic Solutions is prepared to work things out with you. The company supplies the StormChamber®, a management tool for controlling storm water runoff. Signed by PA Gov. Tom Corbett as Act 123 of 2014, the SB1255 amends Title 53 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, which governs the responsibilities of municipal water planning authorities. Instead of the local government establishing special measures to guide property owners on storm water BMP, it empowers public or private property owners to do their own runoff mitigation measures. Some incentives can be offered for putting up these measures, which may include setting up rain gardens, adding pervious surfaces adjacent to other properties, or installing green roofs.

Hempfield Township, PA in Urgent Need of Quality Stormwater Solutions


Hempfield Township’s main solution to the problem is maintaining about 25 storm water retention ponds scattered all around the locale to alleviate flooding and prevent sewage treatment plant overflow, especially during heavy rain. However, with an average of almost 39 inches of rain per year (U.S. average is barely 37 inches/annum) and 132 days of precipitation (32 days more than the national average), Hempfield Township residents can expect major environmental issues due to stormwater runoff if they don’t implement quality storm water solutions soon.

A Need for Stormwater Systems: On Urban Stormwater Runoff Pollution


Furthermore, the presence of chemicals and other noxious substances, which could contribute to lowering the pH levels of natural bodies of water, can cause health problems among plants and animals. Large pollutants like trash could end up suffocating fish and other animals that might ingest them. In short, urban water pollution through stormwater runoff can damage natural habitats and the overall health of the environment in more ways than you can imagine. If you want to help curb this problem, opt to invest in a reliable stormwater system like StormChamber® by HydroLogic Solutions, Inc. to ensure water quality and cleanliness in your immediate environment. This is a big step toward protecting our planet.
