stormwater in your school worksheet 3 Stormwater is water that falls as rain and then flows across the ground and into gutters, drains and stormwater pipes. When it rains at school it falls on the roofs of buildings, concrete or asphalt paths and playgrounds or on grassy areas like playing fields. But what happens to it next? 1 Use the space below to draw a map showing your school’s buildings, playgrounds, gardens, ovals etc. Water kit . ssS . 001 . april 2010 17
stormwater in your school worksheet 3 2 Use a coloured pencil to show all the places where stormwater flows around your school. Use thick arrows to show heavy flows of water and thin arrows to show light flows of water. 3 Does some of the stormwater form pools in your school grounds? If so, shade the affected areas in blue. 4 Use a brown pencil to show where stormwater leaves the school. Does it flow onto the road or go down drains? 5 What does the stormwater look like as it leaves your school? Is it clean and clear water, or muddy water with rubbish? Give your stormwater a rating from 1 to 10 and place numbers around the school (1 being the least polluted areas and 10 for the most most polluted areas). 6 Does the stormwater in your school cause any damage? For instance, does it cause any erosion or flow into buildings? Mark any damaged areas in red. 7 What could be done to improve the quality or reduce the volume of stormwater at your school? 8 Research: Find out where the stormwater goes once it leaves your school grounds. How does it get to the sea? Which creeks or rivers does it flow down? What sort of pollutants does it pick up along the way? And where does it all end up? Water kit . ssS . 001 . april 2010 18
