The total land area of the United States of America is close to a staggering 1.9 billion acres. With rain falling on the vast majority of that total land mass annually and on a consistent basis, along with the ill effects of everyday pollution, the need to maintain the quality of our water supply has never been more apparent.Consider the amount of water that falls from natural precipitation such as storms or snowmelt each year and one can conclude that water pollution is indeed a very serious threat. This is why water pollution control systems such as best management practices are crucial to maintaining and improving the quality of water in the United States.Stormwater best management practices can be characterized as both structural and non-structural. Those that belong to the structural stormwater best management practices include physical, engineered devices such as check dams, storm drains, and sediment filters, while non-structural stormwater best management practices consist of operational or procedural practices.During the course of our history, stormwater best management practices have gradually evolved in order to keep up with the ever changing environment.

Do you ever wonder where all that water goes when it rains? When it rains, especially when theres a hurricane, where does all that water go, and how do we get clean water out of it? The answers lie in the water management system.When rain falls to the ground, it can either be absorbed by the surface or carried along rooftops, roads, parking lots or sidewalks, or evaporated in varying amounts depending on surface conditions. If rain falls on natural ground cover, like soil and earth, most of the water is absorbed by the ground and some of it evaporates. Very little of it turns into run off. On the other hand, if rain falls on impervious surfaces such as roads or rooftops, only a small amount of water is soaked into the ground. Most of the excess water runs off into the citys water and sewer systems, while some of the water evaporates into the atmosphere. The same is true for other forms of precipitation such as hale or snow melting. This is where BMPs or best management practices play an important role in controlling the quantity and the quality of water that originates from precipitation.Best management practices not only refer to engineered or structural devices such as filters or...more
