SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER

Faucet and Glass Picture Everyone wants clean water to drink.

Picture of Dam

Many are disturbed by the contamination of once favorite swimming or fishing spots.

Picture of Flooding

Often citizens are not concerned about stormwater runoff as long as it doesn’t flood their yards and streets.

In the past, water degradation publicity has focused on industries dumping toxins into nearby waterways or undersized, antiquated sewer systems emptying into local rivers.

Some citizens are not aware that the rainwater washes toxic materials and trash from the streets and yards and into the storm sewers. Others may not know that the water is channeled, untreated, into nearby streams, rivers, and lakes.

As the public becomes more informed about the effects their activities have on the quality of the natural environment around them, they are more likely to support and comply with policies to protect the environment.
