Stormwater Reuse at Municipal Level

At the municipal level, stormwater could be stored in ponds for use for irrigation of parks and gardens and for fire-fighting purposes. This is further to employing the ponds for flood control and for improving the amenity value of the water. Another uses are for groundwater recharge, or else as a means of storing water, example for. during the rainy season, for withdrawal within the dry season. Groundwater recharge could also be used to avoid encroachment of seawater near the coast whereas there is heavy groundwater withdrawal within excess of natural replenishment through precipitation.
