WHAT IS STORMWATER? Water that flows over land from rainfall or snowmelt, before it enters natural waterways

WATERSHEDS Areas of land that drain to particular bodies of water

OUR CHANGING CLIMATE More frequent and intense rainfall events punctuated by longer periods of drought. Remember February 7, 2019?

“As climate change makes stormwater challenges more frequent and severe, the city is MAYOR committed to working with JOHN property owners to control HAMILTON flooding and mitigate future damage in environmentally responsible ways.”

 Storm Drain Marking Program  Adopt-a-Stream  Residential Stormwater Grants  Adopt-a-Drain STORMWATER PROGRAMS

RESIDENTIAL STORMWATER PRACTICES  Rain gardens  Bioswales  Dry Creek Beds  Detention or Retention Ponds  Ditch Stabilization  Driveway Culverts

BIOSWALE  Linear channel that is planted with vegetation similar to a rain garden  Great for pollutant removal  Requires engineered soil  Large drainage areas will require an underdrain

DRY CREEK BED  Only carries water after rain events  Not meant for ponding water or removing pollutants

RETENTION AND DETENTION PONDS  Capture runoff to prevent downstream flooding  May improve water quality

DRIVEWAY CULVERTS  Interface between public and private infrastructure  Requires pre-construction meeting with CBU, the contractor, and the homeowner
