Gas power plants have a problem. And it’s a problem that affects all of us. In extreme weather, when electricity demand is at its highest and the grid needs gas plants the most, gas plants have been failing at alarming rates. In the worst instance , widespread gas plant failures led to rolling blackouts that impacted millions of people for days on end.

At this point, I’d wager that pretty much everyone in the US either has been affected or knows someone who has been affected recently by a natural disaster-related electric power outage. Often the households dealing only with a power outage, and not also fire, flood , or freeze directly threatening their lives and property, are the lucky ones. That doesn’t reduce the hardship of a power outage.

During storm events, stormwater runoff moves across impervious surfaces such as streets, parking lots, sidewalks, etc., and is usually directed into stormwater basins in urban areas. Historically, the purpose of these stormwater structures was to channel the runoff into streams quickly.
