February Toolkit – Urbanization
Suggested Copy:
Message 1: 🌧️💧 Don’t let rainwater run off! Urbanization means more concrete and less natural land, leading to flooding and water quality issues. Buncombe and Henderson counties expect 82,000-118,000 new residents by 2040. Let’s plan for rainwater to soak in, not just rush to drains. Be part of the solution.

Message 2: Combatting urban runoff: Nature’s solutions are closer than you think! From lawns to rain barrels, let’s redirect rainwater to where it can soak in, reducing runoff and nurturing our landscapes. Let’s protect our streams and communities.

Message 2: 🌧️ What’s stormwater? It’s runoff from rain or melted snow that picks up pollutants as it flows over surfaces. Why does it matter for the French Broad River? Stormwater brings flooding, erosion, and pollution, posing a threat to this vital waterway.
