As cities expand, impervious surfaces like roads, sidewalks, and rooftops prevent rainwater from soaking into the ground, causing excessive stormwater runoff. This runoff can pick up pollutants, debris, and sediments, leading to water pollution, erosion, and flooding. Sustainable stormwater management helps tackle these issues while promoting environmental resilience and long-term sustainability.

Conventional systems can lead to overwhelmed drainage systems, stream erosion, and water quality degradation, posing environmental and public health risks. Sustainable general and residential stormwater management plan seeks to address these
