This is nearly a certainty.  As someone who deals with water
pollution/drainage/etc every day, I can tell you that most storm drains
will eventually dump into a water body.  Urban watersheds won't get any
cleaner until folks are taught these things.  My agency's engineers view
streams as conduits for runoff and wastewater and care little for what
happens to them in the process.  This is why I'm nearly bald...I deal
with them daily!
