WHAT IS STORM WATER? Storm water (or polluted runoff) is rain or melting snow that flows over the ground. In urban or developed areas, storm water runs over pavement and parking lots, picking up oil and other pollutants before flowing into a nearby river or stream. In more natural areas including forests and wetlands, storm water can soak into the ground, or be stored and filtered. WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF “IMPERVIOUS SURFACES”? Impervious surfaces such as roads, parking lots, and roofs associated with sprawling urban development significantly change natural river flow patterns and the recharge of underground water supplies. Rainfall cannot soak into the ground through these surfaces and thus does not replenish groundwater supplies. Impervious surfaces also increase the amount and speed of water entering rivers and other water bodies. The result is an increase in the severity and frequency of floods, the displacement and destruction of habitat for fish and other water
