A non-structural strategy for mitigating the effects of development on stormwater runoff is ____.
A)maximizing impervious surfaces
B)minimizing compaction of soil
C)introducing pollutants to water
D)increasing parking space size

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By minimizing soil compaction, the natural infiltration of water into the soil is preserved, reducing the amount of stormwater runoff. Maximizing impervious surfaces, introducing pollutants to water, and increasing parking space size will all increase the amount of stormwater runoff, exacerbating the effects of development on the environment.
