Stormwater in cities needs to be managed better due to increased pollution and flooding risks from urban growth. The world's urban population is growing, leading to more impervious surfaces and stormwater runoff. To address this, sustainable practices like SuDS, LID, and WSUD are being used for flood mitigation and improved water quality. Current governance for stormwater management in cities needs to be improved to make urban areas more livable.
