Soak Up the Rain

Soak Up the Rain is a stormwater public outreach and education program to raise awareness about the costly impacts of polluted stormwater runoff and encourage compliance with stormwater rules and requirements through nature-based solutions such as green infrastructure and low impact development. We can all be part of the solution. This website features outreach tools, resource lists, webinars, and many other resources to encourage citizens, municipalities and others to take action. These materials can help communities increase stormwater health and resiliency, comply with stormwater rules and requirements, and build a healthier, greener community.
