Protecting Our Waters, One Drop at a Time

There's a war against pollution happening every day, and our planet's water is the battlefield. The Stormwater Defenders are here to fight back. Learn who we are, why we're here, and how you can join the mission to protect clean water for future generations.

How it all began

The Stormwater Defenders were formed when Sergeant Stormwater recognized a growing crisis: pollution was threatening our water systems, and no one seemed ready to fight back.


Gathering a team of experts, scientists, and everyday heroes, Sergeant Stormwater created a united force to combat the pollution caused by The Degraders. Together, they've become a symbol of hope, protecting water and teaching others how to do the same.


Collectively they make up the

STORMWATER DEFENDERS

the mission

Defending Clean Water for Everyone

Water is essential for life, yet pollution threatens this precious resource every day. Litter clogs storm drains, oil slicks poison rivers, and sediment clouds the water, making it uninhabitable for fish and wildlife. The Stormwater Defenders are on a mission to change that.


Our goal is simple: protect and preserve clean water for our planet and its people by fighting pollution and teaching others how to join the battle.
