The Stormwater Industry Association Inc. is dedicated to helping communities throughout Australia identify potential problems with stormwater runoff and enact measures to correct the problem.
Stormwater runoff is an essential consideration for municipalities of any size. As urbanisation increases, the problem of stormwater becomes more acute. The Stormwater Industry Association Inc. is dedicated to helping communities throughout Australia identify potential problems with stormwater runoff and enact measures to correct the problem, ranging from stormwater collection and distribution systems to wastewater treatment solutions.
Urban drainage is an immense source of pollution and can foster environmental damage through erosion, as well. Stormwater Industry Association Inc. provides information, education, resources and more to help stem the growing problem presented by a lack of stormwater infrastructure. In addition, the organization takes a nationwide view, fostering understanding of the problem from a higher perspective, rather than focusing on problems from only a local area’s point of view.
