Stormwater harvesting can positively impact aquatic ecosystems by reducing the volume and pollutants in runoff that would otherwise enter water bodies. By capturing and treating rainwater, harvesting systems mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization, preventing contaminants like sediment, nutrients, and chemicals from reaching aquatic habitats.
This practice helps maintain water quality, supports biodiversity, and contributes to the overall health of aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, by reducing the risk of flooding and erosion, stormwater harvesting indirectly benefits aquatic habitats, ensuring a more sustainable and balanced relationship between urban development and surrounding natural environments.
