Stormwater Systems & Management

Stormwater is rainwater that doesn't soak into the ground as it flows across impervious surfaces (impenetrable coated) such as roads, driveways, etc.  Stormwater management is the redirection of storm water off of streets, lawns, driveways, and other sites by drainage structures such as culvert pies, box drains, catch basins, etc. Storm water drains such as culvert pipes, allow water to flow under structures such as a road, driveway, and other obstructions to the waterflow.   Storm drain systems use drainage structures to also prevent pollution, erosion, and flooding.  Stormwater drains are different from sewage drains because they do not carry water to any sewer system.
