When water from rain or melting snow can’t soak into the ground, it flows over lawns, structures, pavement, and bare soil, collecting contaminants and soil particles which are carried to local lakes and rivers. This publication looks at how stormwater runoff develops and describes basic low-cost, low-maintenance steps that landowners can take to reduce unintended pollution. 8 pages. Learn More

Stormwater runoff occurs when precipitation does not infiltrate soil, but instead, flows over land or through storm drains to streams, rivers, and lakes. This water collects pollutants as it moves over streets, parking lots, driveways, and other surfaces. To reduce pollution, it’s important to manage this stormwater runoff at the home, city, state, and national levels. This 12-page Extension Circular presents commonly used terms in stormwater management practices, strategies, and regulations. Learn More
