Stormwater & Wastewater

Illustration of stormwater drain.

Water quality and quantity are two issues which are central to the health of watersheds. Stormwater (a.k.a Non Point Source Pollution) is one of the main contributors to poor water quality in our estuaries. Municipal wastewater consists primarily of domestic wastes from households and industrial wastewater from manufacturing and commercial activities.
