The phrase "stormwater network" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing systems designed to manage and convey stormwater runoff in urban or rural areas.
Example: "The city is investing in upgrading its stormwater network to prevent flooding during heavy rainfall."
Alternatives: "drainage system" or "stormwater management system."
Large parks situated lower in the catchment along the main trunk, and distributed smaller parks higher along the secondary stormwater network are shown to be effectively located.
In modern wastewater systems the stormwater network is typically separated, making it a closed system: tephra is less likely to arrive at the treatment plant through the pipe network, increasing overall resilience.
While these impacts are documented as occurring with tephra thicknesses between 5 and 25 mm (given by isopach maps), significantly more tephra likely passed through the treatment plants as tephra was washed into the stormwater network (Blong 1984).
This trend is influenced by the post-eruption impact data which contain a number of older wastewater networks which are combined with stormwater networks.
Tephra can enter stormwater networks though drainage systems, introducing additional tephra into the wastewater treatment plant, leading to increased impact at lower recorded tephra thicknesses.
At distinct rainfall thresholds, roads, percent impervious cover and the stormwater drainage network controlled runoff frequency, runoff depth and runoff ratios.
Both billabongs are periodically inundated by flooding of the Yarra River and one billabong (Willsmere Billabong) is connected to an urban stormwater drainage network.
Table 1 lists the main components of the existing stormwater drainage network of Dhaka City.

The daily newspaper The Independent (2011) mentioned that Dhaka City has 290 km long stormwater drainage network, but it requires no less than 720 km for controlling the urban flooding.
Buried stormwater pipe networks play a key role in surface drainage systems for urban areas of Australia.
