Notes:
One key choice is to determine the primary stormwater objectives for a subwatershed, which will govern the selection, design, and location of stormwater management practices at individual sites. While specific design objectives for stormwater management practices are often unique to each subwatershed, the general goals for stormwater management practices are often the same and include:
- maintain groundwater recharge and quality
- reduce stormwater pollutant loads
- prevent increased overbank flooding
- safely convey extreme floods
Watershed managers should determine the goals for stormwater management practices to determine which practices to apply.
