The major source of pollution in the Bay is runoff from the land—nutrients and other contaminants that are washed off lawns, roads, farmlands and parking lots and into our local waterways. Many of our everyday actions—from driving our cars to fertilizing our lawns—have a major effect on water quality in the Bay.
