An Industrial Water World article examines the best practices for industrial sites to manage and treat stormwater as well as meet environmental regulations. These include real-time, in-the-field approaches such as electronic reporting and data streamlining; advanced treatment technologies like stormwater filtration and sanitation systems; and rainwater prevention and displacement techniques such as green infrastructure and low-impact development that are all effective in mitigating stormwater challenges.
Well-planned stormwater management can have other business benefits, too. Earlier this month a Pennsylvania car dealership said it increased sales while meeting environmental requirements with a new stormwater management system.
