Abstract

This paper states how Best Management Practice can be used for storm water Management. Conventional sewer systems are built on the concept of collecting runoff from impervious areas at concentrated points of entry and conveying large volumes of polluted and fast-flowing runoff, capacity limitations on urban sewer systems require significant capital investment which is an economic burden. Lack of adequate infrastructure capacity presents significant public health and environmental burden. Storm Water BMP’s can be used to address capacity concerns by managing the demand on the existing infrastructure.
