Stormwater management plan helps to manage stormwater to avoid pollution, damage to property and threat to life. There have been however great concerns about the modern plans for stormwater management because some of them disrupt nature. The stormwater threat came by because of humans disrespecting nature and interrupting it. There are different ways we can work with natural drainage patterns and limit the problems of stormwater.
Let the water go away
There are plans that have been developed to make unwanted water runoff to disappear. Underground drainage systems have caused problems as they have been forced into sewers and eventually managed to find its way into the water treatment plants. Some systems have dumped the water into area waterways.
What is the solution?
Remember, without us constructing buildings and other structures, there could be no problem of stormwater. This does not mean that we should stop building. It doesn’t also mean that we should stop using stormwater management software and technology. Technology is there to help us but if we misuse it, it can also destroy us.
The main natural solution to stormwater management system is for contractors to partner with environmentalists and build structures that don’t disrupt the natural drainage systems. There have been cases in different parts of the world where people divert rivers to build structures. There are some cities that have been built in swampy areas and these are the major things affecting us.
We need to come up with an environmental friendly stormwater management plan to help us understand natural drainage systems and preserve them. We can avoid cutting down trees unnecessarily and clearing grass because these are the natural purifiers of stormwater. Rivers should be left to run naturally. Water from buildings should be harvested or be directed to the right channels and people should avoid dumping garbage in areas that might cause problems.
