Does stormwater get treated

Stormwater treatment varies by location and infrastructure. In many urban areas, stormwater is collected and directed to treatment facilities where it is filtered and treated to remove pollutants before being released into water bodies. However, in some regions, stormwater may be discharged untreated, leading to potential environmental issues. Effective management practices, such as green roofs and permeable pavements, are increasingly being implemented to improve stormwater quality.
