This document serves as a comprehensive guide for managing precipitation runoff in a specific geographic region. It outlines accepted engineering practices and regulatory requirements designed to minimize the negative impacts of increased surface runoff caused by development. As an example, it might detail specific techniques for designing detention basins or permeable pavement systems to control the volume and rate of discharge from a construction site.
The implementation of proper strategies detailed within ensures the protection of local water resources, reduces the risk of flooding, and maintains ecological integrity. Historically, the need for such guidance arose from increasing urbanization and its associated impervious surfaces, which drastically alter natural drainage patterns. Effective management, as described, is vital for sustainable growth and community resilience.
