3 Problem: stormwater runoff What happens when it rains? Aqua, the raindrop What is it? Rain that falls in a storm (stormwater) Stormwater runs off impervious surfaces, gets Polluted and goes straight into storm sewers and streams into our Rivers and Chesapeake Bay = Stormwater Runoff 10% or less surface runoff 40% 30% 30% or more surface runoff 35% 4% Storm, polluted runoff water hotter, dirtier, full of nutrients (and more!) + 56% + 35% Landcover change from Forest to Urban Causes water to behave differently Impacts of urbanization 3
4 Where is all this imperviousness??? Compare the surface condition of a forest and a parking lot where can the water can soak in? driveway rooftop on-street parking roadway Walhonding ROOFTOPS and STREETS Tuscarawas In typical urban residential areas, rooftops account for 30 40% of the total impervious area capturing runoff from residential rooftops and in the streets CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, capturing runoff from up to 100% of the IA in residential Our own impervious surfaces are part of the problem Water flowing off a roof can reach 140 F Unchecked runoff pollutes, causes erosion What is in stormwater runoff?
