Preventing Runoff and Stormwater Pollution
The concept of low impact development is to develop land with minimal impact to the local environment, with a focus on stormwater. Preventing pollutants from being placed, deposited, or mobilized in the urban landscape will result in higher runoff quality and reduced need for treatment. Street trees can be a valuable part of the green stormwater infrastructure. Trees can provide multiple benefits for stormwater management, similar to other, more formalized stormwater control measures. A disconnected impervious surface is a built‐upon area (usually a roof or a paved surface) that discharges runoff to a vegetated area that is sized and graded to reduce runoff and pollutants. Compromised water quality in urban runoff results from the wash‐off of pollutants built into or deposited onto the drainage areas. Education is and will continue to be a critical component of stormwater management.
