Every time it rains water runs off the land as stormwater. As it flows over rooftops, lawns, driveways and streets, stormwater picks up pollutants and debris such as dirt, motor oil, fertilizer, pet waste, leaves and litter. We each contribute to the problem, but we can all be part of the solution! The following resources have been taken from the Clean Water Campaign website.
