Have you heard of Green Stormwater Infrastructure?

Stormwater runoff occurs when rain washes over paved surfaces such as sidewalks and streets and carries pollutants directly into storm drains which flow unfiltered to local creeks and the San Francisco Bay.

Green Stormwater Infrastructure helps prevent water pollution by directing runoff into features like rain gardens, pervious paving and bioretention basins. These features allow stormwater to be naturally filtered by soil, reducing the quantity of runoff and pollutants flowing into storm drains and local creeks.

Check out the video to see green stormwater features that you might see in your community or consider including in your next home landscaping project. To learn more visit https://www.cleancreeks.org/24...
