Storm water

It is important that only water goes down the gutter and storm water drains. If litter goes down the gutter and storm water drains it all ends up in the sea and the fish will eat it.

Water quality

If we put things in our gutters it will either end up in the ocean or in the gutters or clog them up. If the rubbish end up in the ocean it will hurt animals or make them die, and after awhile the water will get really dirty and we will get sick and die.

Water Quality

We should be careful about our water because we could get sick! We need clean water to: wash in, play in or drink from.

Storm water

We should be careful about what ends up in the gutters, because the drain leads to the sea, lakes and rivers. So if you wash your car on the road it will go into the sea and contaminate the water. So you should wash on gravel or grass so it will go into it.

Storm water

We should be careful because heavy rain will break drains and they will get blocked and get flood.

Storm water

We should be careful about what gets in our gutters because.
If the branches of leaves get into the gutters the water will make a flood and wash away the road.
If a house gutter becomes blocked water may leak into the house.
What ends up in the rivers and could kill our fish and pollute the ocean.

Storm water

We should be careful of what we put down the drain
because it may pollute the water and
make things sick.

Storm water

If you put poison in a storm water drain, it will end up in the sea and may kill fish.

Storm water

The reason we should make sure what ends up in our storm water-drains and gutters is because if the water has any bad stuff in it animals might drink it. Then they could get sick or die.

Storm water

Oils from cars can go down the drains and get washed out to sea and kill all the creatures in the sea.

Storm water

If we drop rubbish in our city’s drains it then ends up in the sea which is a big threat to the animals.

Storm water

We should be careful of what ends up in gutters and storm water drains because they lead into rivers or the sea. If we put poisons like weed killers down the drain it would kill things that live in the rivers and the sea. Then there would be no more edible fish for us to eat.

Storm water

We should be careful what ends up in our gutters because the gutter pipes leads to the sea. If we leave rubbish around it might blow or roll in to the gutter and when it gets out into the sea it will leave the beach looking disgusting. The rubbish might go into the sea and strangle sea creatures and other stuff like that. If too many animals die most sea creatures will be dead and that would be sad. That is why I think we should keep rubbish out of gutters.

Storm water

1. It can block the gutters and over flow the drains and floods the streets.
2. Incase it ends up in the sea and harms the fish.

Storm water

We should be careful of what ends up in the gutters and storm water because toxic waste in drains/storm waters goes into the sea and kills fish and sea plants that decreases oxygen production for the world.
