Welcome to Runoff Busters, a special project brought to you by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay. Team Runoff Busters awarded two homeowners in the Chesapeake Bay watershed yard makeovers to make them Bay friendly. Watch the complete series here to see the makeovers and learn more about how to install rain gardens, rain barrels and more at your home.
Featured Action
Rain Barrels
Rainwater tanks are installed to make use of rain water for later use, reduce main water use for economic and environmental reasons, and aid self-sufficiency. Stored water may be used for watering gardens, washing cars, and more, especially when other water supplies are unavailable or expensive.
