Even though we depend upon rain, it can cause problems when the water running off roads, parking lots and roofs picks up pollutants and washes them into our creeks and streams. For property owners, stormwater can cause flooding, erosion and other problems. Forsyth County has plenty of examples of the right way to handle stormwater runoff. 

Below are two resources that show various options if stormwater runoff is creating problems on your property.
