Stormwater runoff provides drinking water and supplies water to our rivers, lakes, and streams.
Pollutants picked up in storm water runoff can contaminate local streams, rivers, and surface
waters that in turn can cause harmful effects on humans and wildlife. The goal of Stormwater
Pollution Prevention is to eliminate pollution at the source.
