Natural landscapes such as forests, the soil absorbs much of the stormwater and plants help hold stormwater close to where it falls. In developed environments, unmanaged stormwater can create two major issues: one related to the volume and timing of runoff water (flooding) and the other related to potential contaminants that the water is carrying (water pollution).
<u>US clean water Act </u><u>prompted the developers to install stormwater management systems to handle the movement of polluted water</u>
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
The Clean Water Act's primary objective is to restore and maintain the integrity of the nation's waters. The Clean Water Act is the primary federal law in the United States governing water pollution. It also regulates the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and regulating quality standards for surface waters
