As climate change leads to more frequent and intense rainfall events, effective water management is critical to prevent flooding, protect infrastructure, and ensure sustainable water resources. Innovative solutions like permeable pavements, rain gardens, and detention basins not only manage excess rainwater but also recharge groundwater supplies and support urban biodiversity. These systems play a vital role in building climate-resilient communities.
