Traditional concrete and asphalt surfaces that are used to pave streets, parking lots, and driveways cause rainwater to runoff into storm drains. This not only creates a barrier in the natural cycle of water being absorbed back into the ground, but the runoff can pollute nearby rivers, lakes, and streams.
