With new land development and urban redevelopment, stormwater management has become an issue of great importance. With increasing amounts of impervious cover, there is a corresponding increase in stormwater runoff volumes, and an increase in the quantity of pollutants carried by runoff. Therefore, post-construction stormwater management is critical for protecting property and environmental quality. To mitigate stormwater issues related to land development, we can implement measures to reduce the impacts of increased imperviousness.  We will present the post-construction measures that can be implemented and outline how to plan and develop them.
