Description
Learn how storm water runoff, pollution and erosion contribute to the need for stream restoration.
A
Storm
water,
runoff
pollution
and
erosion
all
contribute
to
the
need
for
stream
restoration
when
it
rains
most
of
the
rain
water
flows
from
paved
surfaces
into
storm
drain.
Inlets
like
this
one
trash
or
other
items,
discarded
or
blown
onto
neighborhood
streets
and
parking
lots
end
up
in
these
storm
drain
inlets
and
get
carried
along
with
storm
water
runoff
through
underground
pipes
into
the
nearest
stream.

A
Hype,
storm
water
runoff,
arrives
at
the
stream
very
quickly
and
is
a
major
cause
of
stream.
Erosion
erosion
occurs
when
water
washes
away
the
stream
banks
and
stream
bottom
storm
water,
runoff
and
eroded
soil,
carry
lots
of
pollutants,
including
nitrogen
and
phosphorus
found
in
items
like
pet
waste
and
fertilizer.
A
Many
public
sewer
system
pipes
are
located
near
streams,
but
they
do
not
drain
into
them.
However,
stream
erosion
can
wash
away
enough
dirt
to
expose
our
sewer
pipes
and
manholes,
putting
them
at
high
risk
for
breaking
and
spilling
sewage
into
our
streams
which
pollutes
our
waterways
and
requires
costly
repairs.

Streams
in
our
suburban
communities
have
many
challenges,
working
against
them
utilities
and
other
infrastructure
that
support
our
daily
life
can
limit
the
space
available
for
streams.
In
these
instances,
a
natural
channel
design
approach
is
used.
The
stream
is
graded
to
adjust
the
location
dimensions
and
bank
angles.
