There are multiple ways to search for material in this stormwater manual wiki. The search tool (box) toward the upper right is a powerful tool that searches and sorts by page titles with the defined text and then by pages having the defined text.

The Table of Contents on this page offers two ways to search for information.

All pages in this stormwater wiki, including images, tables, and uploaded files, have been assigned to one or more category.
1. When you click on one of the links below you will be taken to a page with all topics, tables, images, etc. placed into that category. Categories are arranged by levels. See the 4th bullet below for information on categories.
2. You will notice text to the right saying either Expand or Collapse. Click on this to either expand or collapse the topics under that item.
3. All bold text employs hover boxes. Hover your mouse over that text to get a description of what you'll find at that link.
4. The Categories (Index) function can be accessed in the left toolbar or at this link. Descriptions of the Category function can be found at this link (includes videos) or on this video.
You may also use the images at the bottom of this page to access pages related to best management practices (top image) or by topic (lower image). These are image maps similar to those used in Wikipedia.

Stormwater bmps are also known as stormwater control measures (SCMs). Examples of nonstructural practices include pollution prevention, removal of illicit discharges, and street sweeping. The most widely used structural practices include proprietary practices such as hydrodynamic separators and settling chambers, sedimentation practices such as wet ponds and constructed wetlands, filtration practices such as sand filters and vegetated filters, chemical treatments, impervious surface disconnection, rainwater and stormwater harvest and reuse, and infiltration practices.
