🌱 Agriculture plays a big role in protecting our waterways. Best Management Practices (BMPs) help farmers reduce runoff, manage manure, and keep harmful pollutants out of stormwater. Healthy farms = healthy water. 💧

Washing your car at home? 🚗💧

Soap, dirt, and oil can flow into storm drains and pollute our waterways

✔️ Wash on grass or gravel
✔️ Use less soap
✔️ Consider a commercial car wash

Never flush unused medication 🚫

Flushing medications can introduce harmful chemicals into our waterways and impact water quality.

Dispose of them safely at approved collection sites. 💧

Construction sites can be major sources of stormwater pollution if not properly managed. Use erosion and sediment controls, cover materials, and keep equipment maintained. Protect our waterways—every job site matters! 🏗️🌧️
