Development unavoidably alters the flow of water in a watershed.   Minimizing the impact of development on the hydrology of the surrounding area is the main objective of storm water management.   More specifically, the objectives are to: 

• Identify methods for getting post-development storm water runoff to mimic pre-development runoff (e.g. Best Management Practices (BMPs) and LIDs).
• Address any erosion issues that exist.
• Encourage future developments to consider the watershed’s hydrology
• Create awareness of storm water issues within the community, 
• Assist businesses in improving their storm water management practices.
