Catch Basin Inserts Prevent Pollutants From Contaminating Our Water
Preventing pollution from entering lakes, streams, rivers and oceans is a tough job. Today, a major source of pollution is stormwater runoff. When it rains on surfaces like concrete or asphalt, the rainwater cannot penetrate these surfaces and absorb into the ground. Instead, the water runs toward drains. Along the way, it picks up all kinds of pollutants. Fortunately, catch basin inserts can be fitted into these drains to filter the pollutants. With catch basin inserts, the water and the pollutants it carries would flow into bodies of water. Catch basin inserts can be installed into just about any drainage system, so there is no excuse for not using one on every drain inlet.
