Did you know that polluted stormwater is a primary cause of water pollution problems in New Hampshire? There are several ways you can help reduce stormwater runoff from your own property, helping to minimize pollutants reaching our local streams and rivers.

One small action you can take is to install rain barrels that capture rainwater from your roof and store it for later use.

Check out this great DIY guide for installing a rain barrel at your house: www.soaknh.des.nh.gov/sites/g/files/ehbemt741/files/documents/rain-barrel.pdf
