What environmental issue occurs from stormwater runoff?
A: Blackwater
B: Heat islands
C: Ozone depletion
D: Sedimentation

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Stormwater consists of rainwater and melted snow that run off streets, lawns, farms, and construction and industrial sites. Stormwater runoff can lead to sedimentation. Sedimentation is where pollutants from natural or human activities add particles to water bodies. Pollutants come from soil, fertilizer, oil or gas on roadways, pesticides, etc.

Stormwater runoff should be controlled onsite by harvesting the water, increasing open space, and reducing impervious surfaces.
