Storm water is more than just water.
Rain and snowmelt wash dirt, grease,
trash and more from roads, parking lots
and other hard surfaces into storm drains
and ditches, that empty directly into our
lakes, streams and rivers.
Storm water also carries excess nutrients,
like phosphorus, with it-turning our lakes green and smelly. So, the way to
protect and clean the lakes and streams is to make sure only rain-and nothing else-goes into the storm drains and ditches.
