Stormwater run-off - Changing Behaviours in the City
2021-06-08 13:53:56 UTC
Hello Friends and Colleagues, I am current reviewing our city programs related to stormwater management. We currently have several educational campaigns related to stormwater including "Only Rain in the Storm Drain", "Medication Return" and "Flushables/Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG)". All of these campaigns focus on educating our residents that our stormwater runs directly in our rivers and creeks which impacts our water quality. This in turn impacts the aquatic environment but most importantly, impacts our ability to treat our drinking water. I was wondering if anyone had some good examples and successes using other types of outreach for stormwater management. All suggestions welcome.
