Storm drains typically empty into nearby water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, or oceans, depending on the local drainage system. They are designed to manage runoff from rain or melting snow, directing it away from streets and infrastructure to prevent flooding. Importantly, stormwater is usually not treated before it reaches these water bodies, which can lead to pollution if debris, chemicals, or other contaminants enter the system.
