This runoff water can cause flooding if it&#8217;s not taken care of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stormwater drainage system is like a big underground pipe system that collects this water and carries it away to a safe place, like a river or a lake.

This controlled release prevents flooding and protects local waterways from sudden runoff surges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Stormwater_Drainage_Is_Crucial\"><\/span><b>Why Stormwater Drainage Is Crucial<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stormwater is dirty rainwater. When rain falls on roads and buildings, it can&#8217;t soak into the ground. Instead, it picks up dirt and pollution and rushes into our rivers and lakes. This can harm plants and animals, making drinking our water unsafe. Plus, too much water can cause floods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5521 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/structuralconsultancy.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/storm-water-drains.jpg\" alt=\"storm water drains\" width=\"657\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/structuralconsultancy.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/storm-water-drains.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/structuralconsultancy.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/storm-water-drains-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/structuralconsultancy.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/storm-water-drains-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 657px) 100vw, 657px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stormwater_Drainage_Design_Why_Professional_Help_Matters\"><\/span><b>Stormwater Drainage Design: Why Professional Help Matters<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stormwater drainage design is a complex task best left to qualified professionals like stormwater engineers and hydraulic engineers.
