A: Minimizing impacts on microclimates
B: Reducing harmful chemicals carried into the water system
C: Collecting the water for custodial uses

By reducing stormwater flows, chemicals carried into surrounding water systems are reduced. These can include chemicals from parking lots (oil from cars), pesticides, and fertilizers used in landscapes.
C is primarily an economic benefit because it avoids the cost of using potable water if the water is supplied by municipal sources.

D is primarily an economic benefit because it avoids the cost of using potable water if the water is supplied by municipal sources.
