April 9, 2014: Rain, Roofs and Roads: Hydro-Logical Thinking for a Clean Water Future Stormwater is rain runoff that flows across roofs, roads or other hard surfaces. The runoff contributes to flooding and can carry pollutants, including road salt and nitrogen, into our rivers, lakes coastal waters. Jamie Houle and Alison Watts of the UNH Stormwater Center will discuss some of the steps communities and residents can (and are) taking to reduce stormwater runoff. Hosted by University of New Hampshire faculty member Cameron Wake at the Portsmouth Brewery?s Jimmy LaPanza Lounge, the Portsmouth Science Café provides a unique opportunity for Seacoast residents to feed their minds with contemporary science in the relaxed atmosphere of a pub. The discussions, which are free and open to all, run from 6-8 p.m.; doors open at 5 p.m. for food and drinks.
