What is my job? To eliminate and reduce pollutant discharges going to storm drains.

Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District When it rains or when an area is hosed down, chemicals and eroded sediment enter the storm drain inlet …… How Does Pollution Occur?

…and enter one of the local ponding basins designed to recharge the groundwater aquifer…

…or the pollutants travel to detention basins which discharge into local waterways such as the San Joaquin River.

Storm Water flows to Storm Water flows to: 5 % 25% 70% 17,000 acre feet per year = 5.5 billion gallons = 46,000 Fresno Residents

On average, 27,000 acre feet is transferred from FID into flood control basins and infiltrated back into the ground water each year 8.8 billion gallons 74,000 Fresno homes for one year
