PERTH, Australia - AussieJournal -- Imagine a sponge absorbing water. That's how Earth's soil used to work when it rained—water seeped in slowly, replenishing aquifers and nourishing plant life. But in today's cities, that sponge has been replaced by concrete, asphalt, and rooftops.
In fact, up to 70% of land in any modern city is now covered by impermeable surfaces, meaning rainfall can't absorb into the ground. Instead, it becomes surface water, rapidly flowing into drains and waterways, carrying pollution along the way.
This shift from absorption to runoff has transformed how we experience rain. What used to replenish now overwhelms. Urban flooding, sewage overflows, and water pollution are just a few consequences.
Why Our Infrastructure Is Failing
Stormwater infrastructure, originally invented in the UK 230 years ago, is the largest and most critical underground infrastructure system in developed nations. But it's also the most neglected.
In many countries, developers install stormwater drains during construction, but after handover, local governments take responsibility—often without dedicated budgets for maintenance or upgrades. The result? Crumbling systems, blockages, and pollution-heavy discharges into rivers and oceans.

A council in Perth, for example, discovered over 25,000 drain pits and 863km of pipes feeding directly into the Canning River. That's just one suburb.
With much of the infrastructure made of concrete and exceeding its 100-year life expectancy, we're looking at an increasingly brittle system that cannot keep up with modern demands or changing climate patterns.
A Call for Smart, Sustainable Stormwater Solutions
It's no longer viable—financially or environmentally—to tear up roads and replace these networks entirely. Instead, we need solutions that work with existing systems.
ARI Water Solutions' Stormwater Filtration Devices (SFDs) offer an innovative retrofit solution. By filtering runoff at the source, they protect downstream ecosystems and reduce the burden on aging pipes. They even support a circular economy by turning captured waste into biofertilizer—closing the loop on what was once pollution.
Time to Think Differently About Rain
We need to start treating rainfall not as waste—but as a resource worth protecting. By restoring natural absorption in cities and capturing contaminants before they enter our waterways, we can build climate-resilient, water-conscious communities for the future.
