Stormwater

During high levels of precipitation, impervious surfaces of urban areas, (such as parking lots, roads, bridges, buildings and compacted soil) do not allow rain to infiltrate into the ground. Stormwater generates two key challenges for the environment: volume/timing of runoff water (floods) and water pollution.

Stormwater Cleanup E.coli - Biochar When stormwater does not soak into the ground and becomes surface runoff, it flows directly into surface waterways or is channeled into storm sewers, which eventually discharge into surface waters such as streams, lakes, marshes and bays. Common pollutants in stormwater include:

Heavy metals (such as zinc and copper)
E.coli bacterium
Nutrient leaching (phosphorous, nitrogen)
