Abstract In October 2003‚ stormwater overflows from an intense‚ short-duration storm eroded approximately 20‚000 yds.3 of soil from the bottom and side slopes of a ravine between the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and a subdivision near Tacoma‚ Wash. The erosion ruptured two storm drains and

The state of California can prevent groundwater depletion by harvesting stormwater‚ reusing water‚ and seawater desalination. Instead of taking groundwater David Sedlak claims that we should harvest stormwater. Even though it is not a very reliable source since it hardly ever rains in California we can slowly collect the water to refill our aquifers back up. We can do this by capturing the

Furthermore‚ this can also contribute to the formation of patches of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) as high content of phosphates are emitted from stormwater drainage systems and human domestic pet faeces that they do not clean up. The blue-green algae will affect the aquatic ecosystems as it will use large amounts of carbon dioxide‚ and increase turbidity
