How Seasonal Debris Impacts Storm Drain Performance
Seasonal changes bring varying types of debris that can impact storm drain performance throughout the year.
In fall and winter, leaves and organic material accumulate rapidly, while spring brings sediment and landscape debris.
If not managed properly, this material restricts water flow and increases the likelihood of flooding.
Seasonal debris buildup often goes unnoticed until heavy rainfall exposes drainage problems.
Debris caps help manage seasonal debris by capturing material before it enters storm drains.
