Runoff Busters
Welcome to Runoff Busters, a new campaign from the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay to educate people on steps they can take to reduce the impact their yards and houses have on local waterways and ultimately, the Chesapeake Bay. What is runoff and why do we care? Runoff is created when rain falls on roads, driveways, parking lots, rooftops and other paved surfaces that don’t allow water to soak into the ground. We want to stop it and prevent excess water, sediment, chemicals, animal waste and more from making its way to the Chesapeake Bay.
Video Series
The Runoff Busters team put together an awesome video series on rain gardens, rain barrels, edible landscapes and other BMPs.
