Did you know that it only takes less than 1/20th of an inch of rain in New York City to overwhelm the sewer system and cause raw sewage to flow out into the surrounding bodies of water?

In this episode of H2O and Beyond, we dive into the hidden power of stormwater - something many of us at home never think about.
