Stormwater

Where does stormwater come from and where does it go?

Storm water comes from roof tops, roads, basketball courts, car parks and anywhere that the water can't sink into the ground.

Storm water goes into the drains and ends up in our waterways.

Maybe it's not just stormwater. What else might be carried along in the water that we can see?

Cigarette butts, dog poo, food wrappings and drink containers.  Anything that is dropped on the ground.

Are there things you can't see being carried in the water?

Germs, pesticides, fertilizers, oils, detergents and sewerage.
