The storm drainage system collects stormwater and releases it directly into the Colorado River. Harmful pollutants are collected as rain and snow melt are transported across pavement, lawns, and other surfaces. These pollutants enter our rivers, causing algae blooms and endangering fish and wildlife habitats.
