Stormwater management is an interdisciplinary academic field and applied practice focused on the comprehensive study and regulation of surface runoff resulting from precipitation in urban and developed areas. It investigates the generation, flow, and quality of this runoff, alongside the design and evaluation of structural and non-structural measures to mitigate adverse impacts such as flooding, erosion, and pollution, while also exploring opportunities for water reuse and infiltration. This field is critical for sustainable urban planning, environmental protection, and maintaining the integrity of aquatic ecosystems.
