Why Monitor Storm Runoff?

To understand the full impacts of nonpoint source pollution and the general hydrologic response of the watershed during storm events, researchers with the Cypress Creek Project will be sampling storm water runoff at various locations along the creek. The goals of this sampling will be to understand what percentage of rainfall ends up in the creek during storm events, how quickly it gets there, what kinds of pollutants are picked up by surface runoff, and how water quality changes throughout the duration of the storm
