Stormwater and Groundwater Services

Stormwater Retention Services & Consultations

Dig Cooperative helps residential and commercial properties manage stormwater runoff before it creates flooding, erosion, drainage, or water quality concerns. Our stormwater management services take the entire site into account, from roofs and paved areas to existing drainage and surrounding land. Through site-specific stormwater management solutions, we can help capture, slow, redirect, or absorb water using approaches such as rain gardens, bioswales, earthworks, and other best management practices. Our stormwater consultation services employ satellite and site information to evaluate conditions and identify practical solutions that support long-term property and water management goals. Our approach can include:



  • Stormwater Retention — Capture and hold runoff on-site to reduce overflow, flooding, and pressure on existing drainage infrastructure.
  • Rain Gardens & Bioswales — Use planted areas and natural filtration to slow runoff and help water become absorbed into the ground.
  • Drainage & Runoff Management — Address water flowing from roofs, pavement, and other impermeable surfaces to reduce erosion and property impacts.
  • Site-Specific Stormwater Solutions — Develop an approach based on the property's layout, existing conditions, local requirements, and project goals.

Groundwater Management & Consulting

Dig Cooperative also incorporates groundwater into its broader approach to sustainable water management. Rather than treating stormwater as something that simply needs to be moved off a property, thoughtful site design can help retain water and support groundwater recharge where appropriate. Our groundwater consulting services can be applied to residential and commercial projects alongside rainwater harvesting, stormwater management, and other water conservation strategies. We evaluate the site's existing conditions and water flows to help identify opportunities to protect local water resources, manage runoff, and create more resilient water systems. Our groundwater services can support projects that aim to:



  • Support Groundwater Recharge — Direct appropriate water into areas where it can infiltrate the soil rather than immediately becoming runoff.
  • Manage Site Water — Coordinate groundwater considerations with drainage, rainwater, and stormwater strategies.
  • Protect Water Resources — Reduce runoff and erosion while supporting long-term water quality and freshwater resources.
  • Plan for Resilient Water Management — Integrate groundwater considerations into broader residential and commercial water conservation and site-design projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are stormwater management services?

    Stormwater management services help properties control rainwater and runoff before it causes flooding, erosion, drainage problems, or water quality concerns. Solutions can include rain gardens, bioswales, retention areas, earthworks, and other site-specific approaches. Dig Cooperative works with residential and commercial clients to evaluate their properties and develop practical stormwater management solutions suited to their project needs.

  • Does Dig Cooperative provide stormwater consultations?

    Yes. Dig Cooperative offers stormwater consultation services for residential and commercial projects, including new construction and remodels. Initial evaluations can use satellite and map views to understand the project site, while clients can also provide plans for review. The consultation helps identify appropriate stormwater management approaches and potential code or permitting considerations.

  • What is groundwater management?

    Groundwater management involves considering how water moves through and is stored beneath the ground. At the property level, strategies can include reducing runoff and directing appropriate water toward areas where it can infiltrate the soil. Dig Cooperative incorporates groundwater considerations into broader water management and site-design strategies for residential and commercial projects.

  • How can stormwater management help prevent flooding?

    Effective stormwater management can slow, capture, and redirect runoff before large volumes of water overwhelm drainage systems or accumulate on a property. Strategies such as retention areas, rain gardens, bioswales, and appropriate drainage can help manage stormwater where it falls. The right approach depends on the site's layout, surfaces, soil, drainage, and surrounding conditions.

  • Does Dig Cooperative work with both residential and commercial properties?

    Yes. Dig Cooperative provides water management and design services for both residential and commercial projects. The team can evaluate site conditions and develop approaches for projects ranging from individual homes and remodels to larger properties and new construction. Solutions can incorporate stormwater, groundwater, rainwater, and other sustainable water management strategies based on the property's needs.

  • Can stormwater management be combined with rainwater harvesting?

    Yes. Stormwater management and rainwater harvesting can complement one another as part of a broader water conservation strategy. Rainwater can be captured for later use, while other runoff can be slowed, retained, or directed toward appropriate areas for infiltration. Combining these approaches can help properties make better use of available water while reducing runoff and drainage impacts.
