Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Amy (Birdie Bags) for my toiletries bag, I absolutely love it. My husband and I love travelling and my Birdie Bag is the ...perfect size to fit all my favourite bits in it for each trip, it's very well made and strong. It is for sure in the suitcase for our next trip.
Stormwater is rainwater plus anything the rain carries along with it. In urban areas, rain that falls on the roof of your house, or collects on paved areas like driveways, roads and footpaths is carried away through a system of pipes that is separate from the sewerage system. Unlike sewage, traditionally, stormwater has not been treated.
Runoff of course occurs during storms, and much more water flows in rivers (and as runoff) during storms. For example, in 2001 during a major storm at Peachtree Creek in Atlanta, Georgia, the amount of water that flowed in the river in one day was 7 percent of all the streamflow for the year. Some definitions of runoff: 1  That part of the precipitation, snow melt, or irrigation water that appears in uncontrolled (not regulated by a dam upstream) surface streams, rivers, drains or sewers.
