What is a storm drain and why is it bad to pour anything in it?

A storm drain is a system designed to collect and channel rainwater and surface runoff to prevent flooding and manage water flow in urban areas. Pouring substances like oil, chemicals, or waste into storm drains is harmful because it can contaminate local water bodies, harm aquatic ecosystems, and pose risks to public health. Additionally, these drains are typically not treated, meaning pollutants can directly enter rivers, lakes, or oceans without any filtration. Proper disposal of hazardous materials is essential to protect the environment and maintain water quality.
