| Abstract | (Summary)
The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA), in collaboration with area municipalities and conservation authorities, completed a study evaluating alternative stormwater
management strategies.
The study, entitled 'Equitable Responsibility for Transformative Design: A systems-based approach to stormwater management', was formulated to determine the best approach to meet the growing challenge of managing stormwater
in the face of development and a changing climate. Flooding and resulting property and environmental damage, declining water quality, erosion, impact to aquatic and riparian habitats, loss of biodiversity, depletion of groundwater and impairment of
sources of fresh drinking water are recognized potential consequences of insufficient Stormwater Management (SWM).
The study, referred to in this report as the System-wide SWM study, tested the hypothesis that stormwater runoff can be more
effectively managed via a watershed-wide approach that includes locating Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs) on both publicly owned and privately-owned properties. |
