Erosion and sediment control
Poor erosion and sediment control can significantly impact stormwater quality. When sediment from construction sites, exposed soil, or cleared land is washed into the stormwater system, it can block drains, increase the risk of flooding, and degrade local waterways. Sediment pollution also harms aquatic habitats and disrupts the natural balance of ecosystems. Proper erosion and sediment control measures are essential to minimise these impacts and protect the community and environment.
