When rain falls on our cities, it doesn’t just disappear. It rushes off rooftops, streams down gutters and seeps into our soil—sweeping pollutants into our waterways. Left unmanaged, stormwater pollutes our water and overwhelms aging infrastructure. But this doesn’t have to be the case. At WSP, we manage stormwater with care to protect our ecosystems and restore balance in watershed hydrology. Navigating the complexities of stormwater management amid strict pollution control regulations and ever-changing industry standards can feel daunting. But WSP’s seasoned experts thrive in these conditions, helping clients confront stormwater challenges head-on. We develop innovative strategies that not only meet today’s water quality standards, but also anticipate tomorrow’s needs. WSP supports clients in planning, quality and compliance, system design, system modeling and analysis, and transportation drainage. Our approach addresses the full spectrum of stormwater challenges through sustainable solutions, including: ■ Watershed Management: Local issues can degrade watershed health, requiring tailored strategies to restore balance. ■ Stormwater Runoff Management: Urban development disrupts natural water cycles and increases polluted runoff, which demands engineered solutions to protect water quality. ■ Green Infrastructure and Low-Impact Development: Man-made buildings interrupt natural hydrology, but green infrastructure and low-impact practices can help restore ecological function and reduce runoff impacts. ■ Stream and Wetland Ecosystem Restoration: Degraded aquatic ecosystems threaten biodiversity, water quality and flood resilience. ■ Hydraulic Structures and Flood Control: As climate risks grow, effective flood control (like levees and dams) is vital to protecting our communities.

■ Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling: Understanding how rainfall becomes runoff is key to managing flood risks and designing effective water systems. RMWATER / STORMWA
