Shoreland Homeowners Guide to Stormwater Management

The New Hampshire Shoreland  Homeowners Guide to Stormwater Management offers do-it-yourself stormwater solutions for your home.    This guide was developed to help  residential homeowners better manage stormwater on their properties.  It can also be used by communities as an outreach tool to encourage better stormwater management on private properties. This practical guide provides fact sheets with step-by-step instructions to install do-it-yourself stormwater treatment practices, such as dry wells and rain gardens.  These stormwater treatment practices, also called low impact development (LID)  practices, help protect nearby streams and ponds from stormwater pollution, and help reduce flooding, create wildlife habitat,  recharge groundwater, and conserve water resources.
