The principles of alternative stormwater management offer sustainable solutions that respect natural cycles and help to improve the living environment of local residents. In situ stormwater management is the foundation of this alternative approach. It's a concept that encourages the absorption of rainwater directly where it falls, avoiding overloading sewer systems and reducing the risk of urban flooding.
