stormwater
Where it comes from
From storm + water.
noun stormwaters
-
Water that is not absorbed into soil and rapidly flows downstream, increasing the level of waterways. In some municipal systems it intermixes with wastewater, increasing the volume of the latter.
Community groups have collected 12,000 signatures demanding that New York City permanently lower the levels of the Cannonsville, Pepacton and Neversink Reservoirs to 80 percent of capacity so that stormwater runoff can have a place to go rather than charging down the river in flash floods.
Similar: surface runoff, runoff[Appendix:Glossary
