As we wrap up our Stormwater by the Numbers series, we hope you've enjoyed learning more about the work that goes into protecting Knox County's waterways. Behind every inspection, water sample, cleanup, restoration project, and educational program is a shared commitment to keeping our streams, rivers, and lakes healthy for everyone.

While these metrics highlight what was accomplished over the past year, they also represent the partnerships that make this work possible. From residents reporting pollution concerns to volunteers participating in stream cleanups, educators inspiring future environmental stewards, and community partners collaborating on restoration projects—every effort makes a difference.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's successes possible. Together, we're improving water quality, protecting wildlife habitat, reducing pollution, and ensuring Knox County's waterways remain a resource for generations to come!

Preventing Problems Before They Start 🦺🔎🌧️

Stormwater Control Measures help manage runoff, reduce flooding, and filter pollutants before they reach our waterways. Inspections and construction reviews ensure these systems are installed and maintained properly to keep them working as designed.

Keeping Streams Clean 🦺🧤🚯
Trash and debris don’t just look bad—they impact water quality and aquatic habitat. Through cleanups and response efforts, we help remove pollution from streams and keep stormwater flowing where it should.
Cleaner streams benefit everyone. Check out our our stream cleanup partners at Keep Knoxville Beautiful to learn more: https://www.keepknoxvillebeautiful.org/adoptastream

Addressing Pollution 🚯🫗📞
Reports of potential illicit discharges help us catch pollution before it causes long-term damage. By investigating and addressing these issues, we prevent harmful substances from entering local streams and protect downstream waterways.

Monitoring Our Streams, One Sample at a Time 🔬

Water sampling, such as for e. coli and nutrients, provides valuable data on stream health and potential pollution sources. This information helps guide restoration projects and supports long-term protection of Knox County’s waterways.

Monitoring Our Streams 🚣🕵️‍♀️📈
Understanding stream health starts with monitoring! Physical monitoring involves field inspections to observe conditions in streams and stormwater systems. These assessments track creek bank erosion, stream flow, and creek bed material. This helps evaluate the condition of our waterways over time and supports long-term research and grant efforts to repair and restore creeks throughout Knox County!
