Hinweis der Redaktion
- Under natural conditions, very little surface runoff occurs. The vast majority of precipitation either infiltrates into groundwater or goes into the atmosphere as water vapor.
- By contrast, developed land significantly contributes to runoff.
- In addition, in many areas, particularly in the Northeast and Great Lakes regions, stormwater and municipal wastewater is carried in the same pipes, and the combined system is designed to overflow to surface waters in certain rain events. That means untreated domestic sewage going to our waterways.
