What is Stormwater?
The flow of water during and immediately after a rainfall. As stormwater flows, it picks up particles and pollutants from roads, yards, parking lots and roofs. The result is stormwater runoff. Pollutants found in stormwater include fertilizers, metals, greases, pesticides and animal waste.
Stormwater runoff is the largest single pollutant source affecting the quality of our lakes, canals, rivers and estuaries.
