Notes:
Stormwater runoff generated from impervious cover can represent a significant threat to the quality of wetlands, surface water and groundwater. The scope and effectiveness of most local stormwater programs vary considerably in different communities around the country. This principle suggests that most communities will need to establish new stormwater management programs or reinvent their existing ones to better protect local aquatic resources. Techniques that can be used to treat stormwater include the use of green areas for stormwater treatment, wet ponds, and other stormwater practices.
