Is stormwater pollution a big problem in the Great Lakes?
Yes. An indication of the quantity of gross pollutants such as litter entering our waterways is reflected in the quantities captured by the stormwater litter baskets. Currently, the litter baskets in the Forster CBD area are capturing over 100kg of pollution each month. Other pollutants less visible however, such as nutrients from fertilisers and detergents, are less obvious but remain a significant threat to local water quality.
