Urban runoff by teriyakih

Urban runoff

I took this photo for work to show that more urban runoff gets into your waterways that you might expect.... All the downspouts are dumping the mixture right into the waterway.

Runoff is acutely lethal to some species, and remains mostly unstudied as to what sort of long term effects it has on most all other species.
Love it ....

Great photograph and your absolutely right. Our road has started flooding for the first time. Cause: new housing development

Great shot - development brings with it so many problems, many hidden until it is too late.

@yorkshirekiwi It's normal that runoff is delt with as an engineering problem, not a biological issue.

@365karly1 Being in natural resources, It is amazing how true it is when old timers tell you that you won't make a difference, and your job is to bear witness to the slow decline and extermination of whatever it is that you initially set out to protect. All the easy choices have been made, and the choices everyone knows are needed to make a difference are not politically/financially easy.
