[piping and/or] culverting
Explanation:
The exact answer would depend on further context. "Piping" is OK, but in this case "culverting" is probably even better because the text refers to existing watercourses. Depending on the source, the definition of "culvert" ranges from, generally, any kind of a pipe to carry runoff underground to, specifically, a pipe going under a road or other structure (maybe from a glossary on road-building?). If further context shows that the entire underground stormwater system is included, then "piping" would need to be added. A culvert is not the same thing a sewer, which carries wastewater from homes, as opposed to stormwater. See examples and web definitions below.
