Dirt Can Hurt!
Learn how sediment run off can be harmful:
1. Sediment in waterways can block sunlight and negatively affect the growth of aquatic plants
2. Sediment can clog fish gills and reduce visibility in the water, making it difficult for fish to find food
3. Sediment carries pollutants, such as heavy metals, oils, and excess nutrients; which harms aquatic life
4. When sediment builds up in storm drains, it hinders the flow of water and can increase chances of flooding
Remember: Only Clean Rain Down the Storm Drain!
