While awareness of utility and amenity goals, objectives, and means is useful in itself, it is also worth noting that some treatment methods seem to more effectively combine utility and amenity than others. Conveyance, for example, is easily used to create amenity by exposing stormwater in troughs, runnels, flumes, and waterfalls. However, while conveyance is an important facet of all treatment systems (because we need to move water from one point to another), it is not actually a BMP as it does not address rate, volume, frequency, duration, or quality. Conveyance can certainly create awareness of stormwater; but it does not directly educate about environmental issues or treatment potential.
