Stormwater management concerns all aspects of rain water once it hits
the ground. Flooding, pollution of lakes, rivers and streams, as well
as planning, designing and constructing stormwater control projects
for Hillsborough County, Florida, are part of our section's
responsibilities.
Stormwater management concerns all aspects of rain water once it hits the ground.
Our responsibilities include flooding investigation from local streets to large scale areas
around major creek/drainage systems, investigation of sinkhole activities and management
of repair, management of large scale watershed studies and updates, as well as
stormwater CIP planning, designing and construction to improvements of drainage systems
in Hillsborough County.
Capital Improvement Projects
The section builds projects that improve or construct drainage features, both structural and
non-structural, including culverts, drains, ponds, and even wetland restoration projects.
Master Planning
The section has spent several years studying Hillsborough County and determining problem
areas, critical habitats, and projecting future needs. The result is the Watershed Master Plans,
which are constantly updated to remain current through a state-of–the-art Geographic
Information System (GIS).
We also have several programs for involving individuals and groups
from our communities in these important matters. Among these are the
Adopt-a-Pond program and the
Lakes Monitoring program. Details
about these programs are on the left.
