Impervious surfaces like roofs and parking lots cannot absorb water. A large volume of rainfall in a relatively short period of time produces runoff, which carries sediments and chemicals into bodies of water. Storm drains cannot always handle the volume of water, or get backed up for other reasons, creating puddles like this one in a parking lot. Video taken in Arnold, Maryland. — Stormwater runoff

Coastal flooding that occurs on sun, storm-free days can be caused by unusually high tides. Offshore storms can contribute to these tides, but are not always the cause. During these events, coastal storm drains can back up and flood streets and walkways. Video taken in Eastport, Annapolis, Maryland. — Tidal or nuisance flooding

During heavy rainfall, water runs off impervious surfaces like sidewalks. Manmade or paved surfaces like roofs and roads cannot absorb water like vegetated surfaces, so rainwater flows directly into the nearest body of water, carrying sediments and other pollutants with it. — Runoff in action
