2. Register Your Adoption:

Joining the program is easy! Complete a simple registration form, sharing your details, so we can keep you informed about events, news, and useful resources related to your participation.

3. Customize Your Drain:

Give your adopted drain a unique identity! Name it, add photos, and write a short description to inspire others in the community to follow your lead.

4. Educate Yourself and Others:

Learn about stormwater pollution and its effects on local ecosystems. Empower yourself with knowledge and share this information with friends and family.

5. Clean and Maintain:

Taking responsibility for your adopted drain means keeping it free from debris, leaves, and litter. Regular maintenance prevents clogs, reduces flooding, and ensures that stormwater flows smoothly into the drainage system.
