What can you do to help improve water quality of our streams and lakes? One easy way is to build a waterspout garden that will collect the rain runoff from your school or residence.

A waterspout garden is a planted area with a shallow indentation that collects and holds runoff before it reaches the storm drain. Rainwater is directed into the garden from roof drains, driveways, and other hard surfaces.
