Stormwater and Wastewater

LI: To understand the difference between stormwater and wastewater

Know Your Drains!

There are 2 types of drains (see the diagram above):

• Inside drains like your toilet, sinks and washing machine that go to the sewer treatment plant.
• Outside drains like your gutters, driveway drains and roadside stormwater drains that go directly into our streams, lake and beaches without any treatment!  So anything tipped, washed or accidentally spilled into an outside drain will end up in our streams, lake and on our beaches – and then we swim and fish in it!

The Main Message to Get Out There!

• Nothing but clean rainwater should run into stormwater drains.  When chemicals and wastes such as oil, paint, detergents, or even food and green waste (leaves etc.) flow down stormwater drains, they run directly into streams or the sea untreated.  These pollutants can kill fish, shellfish, insects, plants and other living things, as well as polluting the water we swim in!

Challenge 1

Read the statements below and copy and paste them onto the chart. To do this correctly you will need to identify which statements are about wastewater and which statements are about stormwater

• Goes down pipes into sewage pipes
• Collects wastewater from outside your house
• Pollutants include food scraps, detergents, paint, human faeces, grease and oil
• Collects rainwater from roofs, yards and driveways
• Goes down roadside drains or stormwater drains on roads, yards and car parks
• Flows into stormwater pipes which carries run-off into the nearest stream, harbour and beach
• Pollutants include rubbish, paint, animal faeces, garden rubbish, pesticides, air pollution, chemicals, soil, grass clippings, grease and oil, detergent, rubber, heavy metals from cars such as zinc and copper
• Flows into sewage treatment plant before being dispersed into the environment
• Collects wastewater from inside houses, offices, schools, factories etc

This is my Poem

Rapids

LI: To identify the rhyme in the poem

At the early day of spring
Beyond forest where nightingale will sing
Beyond castle of a ghost of forest king
The great river started as a lively spring

The river in tributaries grew
Pushing it way through
Carving canyons and valleys too
So strong on very canvas of earth it drew

But soon this awesome run turns into mild jog
The river winds disappearing somewhere in a fogIt turns into a large bog
Barely strong enough to push a log

The swamp is vital to ecology
And it’s secretive and full of majestyBut I miss river’s intensity
On my soul it left enchantment and history

I admire its beauty
As I watch I feel something eerie
And I think I hope to use that history
To change the very momentum of chaos and biology
