LAKE ERIE STARTS HERE NWO

This collective brings together partners from Lucas, Wood and Ottawa counties with the goal of managing storm water runoff in our communities and helping preserve our region's greatest natural resource, Lake Erie.

Stormwater Management

What is stormwater management?

Stormwater Management is the process of controlling runoff that comes from rain and snowmelt events that flow over land or impervious surfaces, such as paved streets, parking lots, and building rooftops, and does not soak into the ground. The runoff can pick up pollutants like trash, chemicals, oils, and dirt/sediment that can harm our rivers, streams, lakes, and coastal waters.
