When we sang "rain, rain, go away" as children,
we never thought about where the rain actually went. Nowadays,
we no longer have that luxury. Not just rain, but melted snow,
runoff from vehicle washing, grit, leaves, sand, oil and more
flow into storm drain designed to prevent flooding or icing.
Ultimately, though, this discharge has the potential to pollute
lakes, rivers, streams-and even the ocean.
