Flooding!!!

Floods cause a great deal of pollution to our waterways. This is something most people don't think too much about. Even in small amounts flooding can reach sources of contamination. Floods can cause sewers to overflow, or even rupture. It can cause dangerous chemicals from various places to reach the water. Municipal waste can flow into the water, various dumps and other waste facilities will begin to leak into waterways. In Atlanta, even after years of drought, flooding is a threat to the water.
