Climate change is increasing the incidence and severity of storms, putting serious strains of water management systems and threatening the built features of many Main Streets. Effective stormwater management, an element of many streetscaping plans, can prevent flooding, reduce the pollution of your drinking water, and offer your district many other community benefits.
