Storm Water Management a Case Study of Latur City

Storm water management means controlling rainwater and melted snow so that it does not cause flooding, soil erosion, or water pollution. When it rains, water flows over the ground. In natural areas, this water soaks into the soil. But in cities, there are many hard surfaces like roads, buildings, and pavements. These surfaces do not allow water to enter the ground, so more water runs off quickly. This Strategy used in our Latur city (Nanded Road) to prevent the impacts of Storm water. Urbanization means building more houses, roads, buildings, and pavements in an area. These surfaces are hard and do not allow rainwater to soak into the ground. Because of this, the infiltration rate (the amount of water that enters the soil) becomes very low. Most of the rainwater flows quickly over the surface instead of going into the soil.
