How do you limit the amount of pollution that is carried along runoff?

To limit the pollution carried along runoff, implement practices such as creating buffer zones with vegetation that can absorb pollutants before they reach water bodies. Installing permeable surfaces can help manage stormwater by allowing it to infiltrate the ground instead of running directly into drains. Additionally, proper waste disposal and reducing fertilizer and pesticide use can minimize the introduction of harmful substances into the environment. Regular maintenance of drainage systems also helps prevent blockages that can exacerbate runoff issues.
