So I really enjoy a good thunderstorm...this weekend we had some nice ones roll through Statesboro, GA. While driving home from a pretty eventful evening I notices oil amongst other contaminants on the road way. This just goes to show how much water pollution comes from storm water. In many areas flooding occurs on a regular basis contributing to thousands of gallons of polluted water.The main source of this problem can be prevented by taking personal responsibility. Not leaving contaminants near sources of water, using car washed that collect water from cleaning a dirty car, and disposing of waste properly.
