Management Why is Managing Stormwater Important? Controlling stormwater is an important factor in addressing climate change, water quality and quantity in our watershed. This is often addressed using stormwater ponds, low impact development practices and stabilizing streams. In the 1980&#8217;s, stormwater ponds were designed for flood control.
