In this episode, we talk with Eliana Brown, Water Quality and Stormwater Specialist with University of Illinois Extension.  Eliana explains how we can do simple things that improve lakes and rivers and why it's important to do so. This podcast complements Extension's Stormwater@Home video series.
With Eliana, we define stormwater, explore the challenges and solutions of stormwater management, and discuss innovative technologies being implemented within Illinois communities.  Erin and Amy both serve mostly rural landscapes so we talk about the differences between urban and rural stormwater management.  As always, come away with a few tips about what you can do to manage stormwater at home. Check out the blog post on this topic for more information.
