04/21/24
“Why does increasing the number of parks in a city improve stormwater runoff control?”
Stormwater runoff occurs when too much water accumulates on impervious surfaces on city streets. By adding more greenspace, more absorptive surfaces are added that can handle the rainwater. Adding more parks is a sound policy-design decision to actualize this into reality. This is Why Increasing the Number of Parks in a City Improves Stormwater Runoff Control.
