The document discusses ways to reduce stormwater runoff entering drainage systems by capturing rainwater and releasing it slowly, and allowing more rain to soak into the ground through permeable surfaces. It also mentions that Lake Superior Day is the third Sunday in July. The document provides contact information for the Lake Superior Binational Forum and its members from government agencies and municipalities in Ontario, Canada and the states around Lake Superior in the United States. It encourages building relationships through in-person meetings while also recognizing the internet is helpful, and provides contact details for the forum.
