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

The River
The River
LI: To explore the emotion and metaphor in the poem
The River’s a wanderer,
A nomad, a tramp
He doesn’t choose one place
To set up his camp
The River’s a winder
Through valley and hill
He twists and he turns
He just cannot be still
The River’s a hoarder
And he buries down deep
Those little treasures
That he wants to keep
The River’s a baby
He gurgles and hums
He sounds like he’s happily
Sucking his thumbs
The River’s a singer
As he dances along
The countryside echoes
The notes of his song
The River’s a monster
Hungry and vexed
He’s gobbled up trees
And he’ll swallow you next
Valerie Bloom
