Sources of Water

About 97% is salt water About 2% is frozen Only 1% is available for drinking water  Only 1% is available for drinking water 

Across the country, most potable water is from groundwater In Maryland, most is from surface water

What is a Watershed? A watershed is an area from which the water above and below ground above and below ground drains to the same place.

Different scales of watersheds:watersheds: Chesapeake Bay Eight local watersheds Neighborhood (to a storm drain)

h ff?What is Runoff?Water that does not soak into the ground becomes surface runoff.  This runoff flows over hard surfaces like rooftops, driveways and parking lots collecting potential contaminants and flows:

• Directly into streams• Into storm drain pipes, eventually leading to 

streams• Into stormwater management facilities, then 

streams

Two Major Issues:V l /Ti i   f R ffVolume/Timing of Runoff

Water Quality6

What is the County doing toprotect our Streams?

Must meet regulatory requirements Federal Clean Water Act permit program MS4 = MMunicipal SSeparate  SStorm SSewer SSystem MS4 = MMunicipal SSeparate  SStorm SSewer SSystem

Applies to all large and medium Maryland jurisdictions County programs

Restore our streams and watersheds Add runoff management

Meet water quality protection goals Reduce pollutants getting into our streams

Educate and engage all stakeholders Individual actions make a difference

Focus on watersheds showing greatest impacts

MS4 P i Wh i i ?MS4 Permit: What is it? Montgomery County is responsible for:Montgomery County is responsible for:

• What goes into our storm drain pipes • What comes out of them• What flows into the streams 

Requires additional stormwater management for 20 (percent of untreated impervious surfaces (4,292 acres = 

6.7 square miles).  That’s about three times the size of Takoma Park.
