Stormwater Management Measures in Ontario: Status and Problems in Implementation

Pages 5-15 | Published online: 23 Jan 2013
 

Abstract

Results of a survey of Ontario municipalities indicate that a majority are utilizing stormwater management (SWM). The use of SWM is more common either among large and/or rapidly growing municipalities. Of those municipalities employing a traditional approach to urban drainage planning and design, most perceive a need for the adoption of SWM measures. The main problems encountered in instituting SWM were related to an initial lack of understanding on the part of land developers and inadequate funding.

Les resultats d’une étude sur des municipalités Ontariennes indiquent qu’une majorité d’entre elles utilisent le système de gestion des eaux de pluies (SGEP). L’utilisation du SGEP est plus usuelle dans les importantes municipalités ou dans celles en croissance. De ces municipalités adoptant une approche traditionnelle à la planification et à la conception du drainage urbain, la plupart voient la nécessité d’adopter des mesures du SGEP. Les problèmes majeurs rencontrés dans la mise sur pied du SGEP étaient reliés au manque initial de compréhension de la part des planificateurs urbains ainsi qu’à l’insuffisance du financement.
