Stormwater harvesting and management/Stormwater collection surface
The type of collection surface that rain impacts and flows over is how stormwater is differentiated from rainwater. Often, these surfaces are more difficult to achieve proper first-flush pollution control measures on and the wide range of surfaces that the water can flow over, means that stormwater may contain much greater amount of pollution than rainwater.
