Natural infiltration of stormwater into the soil
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Case Studies
Renewable energy projects in South Africa are focusing on water resources, making it crucial for developers to apply low impact development (LID) options in their stormwater management plans.
Solar farms, which generate energy from photovoltaic panels, create a large impervious surface area that channels stormwater, causing soil erosion and contamination.
In the attached article Jennifer Meneghelli, a senior civil engineer at SRK Consulting unpacks how a more sustainable methodology based on LID aims to maintain natural infiltration of stormwater into the soil.
