Stormwater Management Report in Ontario

What Is Stormwater?

You would think that stormwater is just the rain that comes from the many storms that visit Ontario, and you would be half right. In actuality, stormwater is the rain and melted snow that runs off the land and finds its way back into the ground, sewer systems and natural water bodies.

In ideal circumstances, stormwater would be absorbed and filtered by the ground, eventually replenishing aquifers or flowing into streams and rivers, continuing the water cycle. Unfortunately, in urban Ontario, our impervious roads and roofs prevent this natural absorption from happening.

Instead, the water runs into storm drains, municipal sewers and other similar structures, picking up pesticides, heavy oil and other harmful substances on its way to the surrounding streams, rivers and lakes. As you can imagine, this polluted water can disrupt our water quality as well as the environment.

These are some of the reasons why stringent stormwater management practices need to be implemented, which is where Premier Engineering Solutions comes in!
