medical illustration of About 770 cities in the US have combined sewer overflows, which are designed to collect stormwater, urban runoff, and sewage in the same pipe. In dry weather conditions, all of the wastewater will go to a treatment plant for processing; in extreme precipitation events, the wastewater can overflow into a local watershed.

Next medical illustration of Cross section showing differences between green and gray infrastructure. Hard surfaces such as streets, drains, and pipes can send polluted runoff into watersheds. Green infrastructure such as bioswales or planter boxes  absorb stormwater and reduce pollution. Rendered for an ERSI Story Map by Jack Barker.
