The largest proportion of water is going to go to irrigation, and then for toilet flushing. The amounts of water running into stormwater from outdoor hosing will be minimal. When taken into consideration that this water although fairly high in nutrients is cleaner than the majority of water flowing into the stormwater system, this is an insignificantly small source of nutrient pollution to our stormwater outflow system. Run-off from areas that have had inorganic fertilizer applied to them are more likely to be a bigger source of nutrient pollution to stormwater run off.
