The Importance of Rewriting Storm Water Regulations Danielle Nielsen Goochland High School Abstract This paper observes the negative and harmful effects of water pollution and storm water runoff on the environment and the surrounding community. The most common form of water pollution is sediment runoff. It then goes on to explain the research and effectiveness of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and their positive effects. BMPs are conservation practices that can preserve or improve

Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful. Uses of water include agricultural‚ industrial‚ household‚ recreational and environmental activities. Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water. 97% of the water on the Earth is salt water. However‚ only three percent is fresh water; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.[1] The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater‚ with only a small fraction present
