National Stormwater Day

Stormwater runoff can carry bacteria and other pollutants into waterways used for drinking water, fishing, swimming and other recreational activities. Managing runoff is of increasing importance in the Corsica watershed as more development brings more impervious surface–areas such as roofs, driveways, and other hard surfaces through which water cannot escape–storms get more intense, and flooding gets more frequent because of rising water levels.

The Maryland Association of Counties is providing information to local governments to help protect infrastructure. Their guide for local leaders also provides more information on the risks from stormwater impacts.
