What matters for project planning
Savannah maintains separate conveyance systems for household wastewater and rainwater; the city says stormwater flows to surrounding creeks, marshes, and rivers. Its original square plan dates to 1733, while island and west-side neighborhoods require a different coastal moisture and drainage lens than the Landmark District.
