Ecological Benefits
When designed and installed properly, storm water pollution prevention systems, especially systems design using Low Impact Development / Green Roof Systems / Bioretention Remediation techniques, are truly sustainable solutions that benefit the environment in many ways, over the short and long term. The following are some of those major ecological benefits:
- Flood control
- Protection of wetlands and aquatic ecosystems
- Improved quality of receiving waterbodies
- Conservation of water resources
- Protection of public health (e.g. smog and heat mitigation)
- Soil pollutant waterway control
- Improves Water Quality through stormwater quality control
