Urban stormwater management is the effort to reduce hard surface runoff from rainwater; tackling issues of flooding, erosion pollution of watercourses and infrastructure damage.
One solution is to increase the use of pervious surfaces throughout the urban environment. An increasingly common way is to combine green and blue to give maximum benefit. The implementation of sustainable drainage systems is now demanded by many authorities as a prerequisite of planning considerations.
These need to be designed in early in the design process, taking into account site conditions and geology, master planning design and environmental impact assessments. GreenBlue Urban’s stormwater management solutions are designed to replace conventional piped drainage designs with green infrastructure features such as swales, rain gardens and tree pits.
