The Pacific Institute’s Report–Untapped Potential: An Assessment of Urban Stormwater Runoff Potential in the United States–was developed in partnership with 2ndNature and published in February 2024. The report provides (1) an overview of urban stormwater capture, (2) an approach for quantifying the national potential for stormwater runoff, (3) a summary of key findings, and (4) a list of recommendations. Recommendations include developing national guidelines for stormwater capture, expanding the use of stormwater runoff, and increasing funding for stormwater capture.
