Implement stormwater management practices
Rationale: Implementing practices to manage the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff prevents pollution, erosion, and flooding, mitigating risk of injury, infection and illness from contaminated drinking water; stormwater management also prevents biodiversity loss, which supports exposure to diverse microbiota, contributing to a strengthened immune system.
For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
