Ensuring Environmental Integrity: Understanding Drain Protection and Stormwater Control,

Protecting our environment from stormwater pollution and ensuring effective stormwater control has become a pressing issue at both local and national levels.

Understanding Stormwater and Stormdrains

Stormwater refers to the rainfall that cascades over our landscapes, including yards, streets, parking lots, and buildings, before finding its way into either the stormdrain system or nearby bodies of water, such as lakes and streams. Stormdrains, which can be found along curbs and in streets and parking lots, function as conduits that carry rainwater away from urban areas, channelling it through the drainage system to ponds and streams. It is crucial to note that stormdrains do not lead to treatment facilities, meaning that any water and debris entering them directly impact our waterways.

The Threat of Stormwater Pollution

Unfortunately, as stormwater makes its way over lawns, driveways, and parking lots, it collects various pollutants, ranging from fertilizers, oil, and chemicals to grass clippings, litter, and pet waste. These contaminants are then transported by the storm sewer system, ultimately ending up in local ponds, rivers and streams. The implications of stormwater pollution are far-reaching, as it poses serious threats to aquatic ecosystems and public health. It is therefore imperative that we take proactive measures to address these concerns.
