How Do Trees Reduce Stormwater & Flooding?

This video explores the role of trees and forests in reducing runoff, flooding, and water pollution. As stormwater becomes an increasing issue for our communities, trees help to reduce stormwater runoff through their structure and function in an urban ecosystem. Learn how large leafy canopies intercept rainfall and transpire water back into the atmosphere and complete the water cycle, while removing pollutants and increasing the infiltration of rainfall into surrounding soils. Stormwater management can be greatly improved by promoting tree canopy cover in communities.
