INTRODUCTION In the past decade,the focus of stormwater management has moved from a more traditional paradigm to a variety of more ecologically sensitive,“green”stormwater solutions.Because of an increased ecological focus,stormwater management techniques are no longer selected from a one-size-fits-all toolkit,making adjustments only for storage and transport volumes to account for local differences in rainfall and contributing area.Instead,the current generation of stormwater managers has a wealth of options from which to choose,leading to solutions that need to be specifically formulated for or adapted to local soils,ecotypes,topography,and meteorology.Furthermore,there has also been a move away from the more traditional engineered systems toward an increased multi-disciplinary approach.As a result,stormwater can no longer be managed as an afterthought to development.Instead,stormwater managers and developers need to be communicating throughout the design process.
