Stormwater Management
Stormwater is rain that runs off surfaces such as rooftops, driveways, lawns, paved streets, highways, and parking lots. From there, the stormwater can soak into the soil (infiltrate), be held on the surface and evaporate, or enter the storm drain and continue through storm pipes until it is released untreated into a local waterway. Dougherty County’s Stormwater Management Program (SWMP), seeks to minimize the negative effects of stormwater pollution, while encouraging environmental protection and conservation of the Flint River Basin.
