The rain is not to blame for the storm water runoff problems. In fact, rainfall is completely natural. The problem is the pollution that contaminates runoff during its journey over parking lots, roads and other impervious surfaces. Additionally, storm water can pick up fertilizers and chemicals from lawns and landscaped areas.
