==Pluvial (Surface) flooding==
Pluvial flooding occurs when a heavier storm exceeds the urban drainage capacity and causes flooding in some low-lying areas. This results in traffic interruption, economic loss, and other issues. As the climate changes, the incidence of extreme weather events in Ontario is expected to increase and the urban drainage capacity may be overwhelmed more often.

LID’s effects urban flooding at a scale of urban drainage systems Kim & Han (2008);and Han & Mun (2011) conducted studies to assess if the installation of a [[rainwater harvesting]] tanks could help solve existing urban flooding problems without expanding the capacity of the existing urban drainage system.

Infiltration facilities and low impact development practices (such as [[bioretention]] and [[rainwater harvesting]]) are typically designed to manage more frequent and lower magnitude rainfall events. However, should these practices be designed for year round functionality, with sufficient flood storage capacity, the volume reductions associated with these practices will only be recognized where the local municipality has endorsed the use of these practices and has considered long term operations and maintenance.
