Length: 22 minutes

Have you ever dropped a fast food wrapper on the sidewalk? Poured used motor oil down a storm drain? If so, you are polluting your drinking water supply. Stormwater runoff-the water that runs off the land when it rains-washes litter, dog waste, oil and other contaminants into our rivers. This video takes a gritty look at the hazards of stormwater runoff in Philadelphia. Explore the issues, meet organizations that are enhancing the quality of your rivers, and discover how you can help protect your drinking water supply.
