Know Where it Goes! Print E-mail
Friday, 18 July 2008

R.I. is promoting a new campaign to reduce runoff pollution into the Bay, supported by the departments of Transportation and Environmental Management. "Know Where It Goes!" aims to inform folks about all the various ways bad stuff gets into the Bay, via storm drains, runoff, and groundwater.

Here's the intro from the project Web site:

Dog poop, lawn chemicals, and nasty spills. These are only a few of the things that stormwater picks up and mixes with as it rushes over the pavement in our driveways, sidewalks, and streets. Storm drains rush all this polluted water directly to the nearest stream, pond, or bay. No filters. No treatment. So the pollutants that stormwater carries wind up in the water we drink, fish, and swim. And that’s pretty scary. The good news is, there’s a lot we can do to keep that water clean.

Go straight to the Web site for more info -- much of it is still under construction, but there is some good info there already.
