This is a picture of a fish kill along the Museum Reach, after a small stormwater event.

“States report that nonpoint source pollution is the leading remaining cause of water quality problems.” US EPA.

DID YOU KNOW: In San Antonio, stormwater does not drain into a sanitary sewer system. Stormwater flows directly into our creeks and rivers.
Stormwater runoff is rainfall that has fallen onto hardened surfaces, such as streets, roofs, and driveways, picked up the various pollutants that are on those surfaces, and carried the pollutants into the storm drain and stream systems.
Those pollutants include, but are not limited to, oil, fertilizers, bacteria, heavy metals, gasoline, and sediment.
