Question

What are some things that may be picked up and end up in stormwater headed for a water body?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: Pollutants like plastic, chemicals, paint, debris, sewage overflow

Explanation:

During heavy precipitation, the rainwater or the stormwater that doesn't soak into the ground due to the presence of impervious surfaces, is known as the stormwater runoff.

This runoff picks up various pollutants like plastic, chemicals, fertilizers, pesticide, paint, debris, pet waste and sewage overflow, that contaminates the local lakes, streams and rivers, before reaching the ocean.
