Urban Runoff
Urban runoff is a relatively recent concern, but it is not an insignificant issue. Urban Runoff can cause health problems, it can be toxic to aquatic life, and can be a danger to the air we breathe. The reason we know that this is an issue is because for the last twenty or so years urban areas have invested billions of dollars for water treatment facilities to control the water pollution. This issue started when people realized that when it rains or the snow melts it gets into the pavement and building and creates pollutants, chemicals, and bacteria. Urban runoff has been a big issue since October 2013, and has been an issue ever since.
