Explanation
Answer: A - All precipitation that leaves project site boundaries on the surface is considered stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff is water from precipitation that flows over surfaces into sewer systems or receiving water bodies. Stormwater runoff can be minimized by maximizing green space where the water can soak into the soil, and capturing the water for use through dry and wet ponds and rainwater collection cisterns.
