What can I do to reduce my impact on stormwater runoff?
The simplest way to reduce stormwater runoff is to eliminate unneeded impervious cover, like concrete slabs from an old shed or unused brick walkways. Another easy way to change the amount of runoff from a home is to redirect downspouts away from driveways and to pervious areas. This gives runoff an opportunity to naturally infiltrate into the ground instead of draining into the storm sewer system.
