Abstract Long Description

Report number 1 of 5 related to stormwater.

Historically, stormwater management has meant controlling water quantity, usually flood control of large storm events. Now we know how important it is to manage the stormwater runoff from smaller storms as well. In fact, small amounts of stormwater runoff routinely run away with large amounts of soil and pollutants. Pollutants include oil and grease, pesticides and fertilizers, harmful bacteria, and metals such as lead, cadmium and copper.
