Storm water runoff occurs when precipitation from rain or snowmelt flows over the ground. Impervious surfaces like streets, sidewalks and parking lots prevent storm water from naturally soaking into the ground. The City of Atlanta’s Stormwater Management Program has been developed to help reduce pollutants entering rivers and streams through the City’s stormwater infrastructure, as well as to address flooding.
