A statement i thought of is surface runoff can pollute our water if the water is polluted. One reason is runoff brings what Evers in the water to a lake, ocean or pound. Another reason is that surface runoff if garbage is put into drains surface runoff brings it some where it will damage. The last reason is we don't have clean water this is because of pollution in the water so we don't have completely clean water.

My claim is to not pollute and litter. For example, smoking pollutes the air. Also, when you throw the ciggarate away, that is called littering.

Hi I am going to be teaching you how to not pollute the water because when you put trash in the storm drains you need to drink what you put in there. I hope you learn a lot about not polluting the water because that is a big NO NO!

A statement I can say is that water is not being the way it should be treated. I say this because if water is not being treated correctly we can't drink it. One reason I say this is if there is dirty water, animals will die and we'll starve. Another reason I say this is if plants don't get clean water they will die and so will the plant eaters. I think this is a important issue because it is a natural resource.

I think that water needs to be treated better. That is because sometimes water gets pouluted. That is very bad for the water. When there are storms and storm drains are there, it is very important that we never throw trash into the storm drains! We need to not throw trash there because eventually it will get into the sea or ocean or lake or river. It can also go into our own water, and we don't want dirty and pouluted water even to DRINK!?! Also not only we need water but the land and animals need it to. So that is why we should protect and respect our water supply for us and everything else.

My reasoning: This is a important issue because we don't have enough room in the landfill and if the landfill fills up, then we'll have to recycle and we are not used to the habit of that. The three r's are called: Reuse, recycle and reduce. That's why we have to recycle, reduce and reuse.

Runoff is when water travels everywhere to get to lakes, bays, and streams. First they go to the storm drain. Then it goes into the sewers and end up where it needs to be. Science clubs and environmental groups paint pictures of fish on the sidewalks near storm drains. The fish will remind people that whatever goes into our storm drain will enter our water supply! To prevent this from happening is to, don't put hazardous products, oil, and any food that is leftover to the storm drain. This is an issue because we are polluting our own water source everybody needs.

My claim is water is being treated badly and people are not caring for it. The evidence from the text is since this water is not treated. This is a situation on earth because we drink water. Do you want to drink dirty water every day and everywhere? This is also important because what about the fish and all the other living animals that live in the water. My evidence from the text is they paint pictures of fish to show that every time that you put stuff in a storm drains you are doing this to your own water supply that you drink.

I think that we need to put storm drains on side walks because when car leaks it goes in to our storm drains so we don't need to take years to clean the water from our pollution. Our issue is that people throw garbag on roads and wid will pick it up and might end up in our oceans which cause animals to die as like turtles that think that plastick bags are like jelly fish and turtles eat it and die from eating the plastick bag isnsted eating real jelly fishes,*so I think we should make safer fences to stop harzard oil,gas,wast,and other toxic stuff in our water plant so we don't drink thing that aren't good for our body. I think that we need to stop pollution.

Now back on topic runoff, runoff is when water goes down a storm drain and then it goes to a nearby bay,river,lake or other water supply or source.

Claim: Today we read an article called Runoff. It is about pollution and how we pollute our own water supply. I don't want this to happen. This makes me think that we can NOT throw oils, paints and other hazardous products into the storm drain. They can't poured in storm drains or on driveways because the rain will carry them into the water supply. That is polluting.

Hi, do you know anything about Runoff,let me teach you what it is, why it is important and somethings you shouldn't do. Let me tell you what I mean. Rain that does not evaporate or soak into the ground becomes runoff.Runoff flows through streets and into storm drains.

My claim is you can't put anything harmful in the water so the animals will not die. The evidence from the article says clubs and groups paint fish on the sidewalk to remind people that whatever goes into the storm drain will enter our water supply. This is an important issue in our world because we need fresh water to stay alive and to drink.
