An illustration of the Skagit River watershed and an image of an outline map of Washington state. On the map, the outline of the watershed covers all of Skagit county and areas of all surrounding counties.

Stormwater refers to the water form of any type of precipitation such as rain or melted snow. Runoff is rain or snowmelt when it flows over land or paved surfaces and is not absorbed into the ground.

What is Stormwater Runoff?

What is a "Watershed"

A watershed is the land area down which all water flows. All land that is not totally flat and totally level is a watershed. The steeper the slope, the faster and more powerfully the water moves, picking up whatever it touches.

There is not just one source of pollution. It's everywhere.

Pollution

As water runoff flows across the ground's surfaces, it picks up what it touches. The further it travels over land, the more polluted it becomes.

Unless something intercepts it, the runoff carries dirt, chemicals, and other pollutants directly to our streams and waterways.

Flooding

When rain falls on hard surfaces, like roads and roofs, it runs off in channels that are not quickly absorbed. The runoff water moves far down stream to lowland areas where all the flows combine, where it can overwhelm the infrastructure, cause erosion and flooding damage

Reduce Pollution Sources

Use natural yard care techniques.
Avoid pesticide use.
Reduce use of fertilizers.
Maintain septic systems.
Fix oil leaks.
Pick up pet waste.

Increase water infiltration by improving the soil with compost.
Replace unused lawns with trees, shrubs, and other plants.
Water harvesting techniques, such as rain barrels and rain gardens.
Other L.I.D. practices, such as porous paving or “Green Roofs”.

Reduce Runoff

"Green Infrastructure", also called Low-Impact Development (LID),

is a stormwater management system that mimics nature.

Water cannot filter through impervious surfaces (like roads, roofs, and parking lots), so the water from those areas runs off and adds to the water load in other areas. Similarly, even when not covered with impervious materials such as buildings or pavement, developed land becomes compacted, reducing its ability to absorb water.

Protecting established plants on site or adding plants to a bare site increases the amount of water that will infiltrate the soil, decreasing runoff which reduces soil erosion and the amount of pollutants that end up in our waterways.

Diagram illustrating that a natural hill before development can infiltrate almost all rainfall coming down. Evapotranspiration 40-50%, interflow 20-30%, Groundwater 10-40%, and less than 1% surface runoff.

Diagram illustrating that a natural hill after development where surface runoff has increase to 20-30%, Evapotranspiration reduced to 20-30%, interflow reduced to 0-30%, and Groundwater down to 10-20%.

Diagram illustrating how Low Impact Development mimics nature to reduce runoff and increase infiltration. Evapotranspiration 40-50%, interflow 20-30%, Groundwater 10-40%, and less than 1% surface runoff.

The Basics of LID

Minimize site disturbance and protect native soils and vegetation (Don't remove native trees and shrubs unnecessarily. Do not disturb or compact soil unnecessarily.)
Use on-site natural features (Let the site work for you.)
Manage stormwater close to the source (don’t let the water leave the site).
Distributed stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) (Use BMPs effectively throughout the site.)
