If Urban Runoff Doesn't Get to the Beach, Pollution Won't Get There Either
- "In addition to upgrading sewer infrastructure, Chicago is working to keep runoff from reaching sewers. The city has become a leader in innovative stormwater management with more than 360 green roofs and a Sustainable Backyards Program that has issued more than 420 rebates for trees, rain barrels, and more. At WEFTEC, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced $50 million over 5 years for green stormwater infrastructure." - excerpt from Water Environment Federation's Stormwater Report.
