Testing the Waters
How Collaborative Field Monitoring in North Carolina is Shaping the Future of Stormwater Technology
As towns and municipalities across the country become more developed, forests and meadows are being replaced by pavement and buildings. When it rains, stormwater runs off roofs and parking lots into the street, picking up everything from fertilizer, pesticides, bacteria and other pollutants. The untreated run-off then makes its way through storm drains and ditches to our rivers, lakes and oceans.
There’s no getting around it: polluted runoff is one of the greatest threats to clean water in the US. And without clean water, our world would be unrecognizable.
Fortunately, there are studies in the field that are helping to do something about it. Download the white paper to find out more.
