Urban trees can evapotranspire 30-60% of rainfall and delay runoff. Planting trees provides stormwater reduction, carbon credits, and lower summer temperatures. Pervious pavement stores stormwater in appropriate areas without protective structures, while compensating owners for design floods. The document advocates for conservation, protection, and stormwater management through the strategic use of trees and pervious surfaces.
