Stormwater runoff is the rain and melting precipitation that flows off streets, rooftops, lawns, and farmland. The flowing water carries salt, sand, soil, pesticides, fertilizers, leaves, oil, litter, and many other pollutants into nearby waterways. In developed areas much of the land is covered by buildings and pavement, which do not allow water to soak into the ground. Storm Sewers are used to carry the large amounts of runoff to nearby waterways.

Inmates not only faced mistreatment, but also health-risking situations, such as months without feminine products and inadequate food supply.

nce a year, whether in Tuscaloosa or Auburn, fans of the Tigers and the Tide Oalike are forced to follow their troops into battle and cross behind enemy lines. This year it’s Alabama fans’ turn to cross the battle plain. But what if you’re already behind the lines? What if you’re already stowed away at Auburn – a bammer behind barn doors? For some Auburn students, setting fandom and football aside means getting educated by your worst enemy. Is it as bad as it sounds? “My entire family is all Georgia fans,” said Matt Merritt, a senior majoring in chemical engineering and Alabama fan. “It hurt my dad more for me to come here than for me.” Often, Alabama and Auburn fans have to trade places in order to advance their education. Both schools are state schools, and both have better accommo- dations for some majors than the other. For instance, engineers are attracted to Auburn while Alabama is known for its business and law programs. “The reason I came was because of the Shelby Center, but then I switched,” said Grant Romine, a fifth-year senior majoring in physics and applied math- ematics. “Alabama isn’t for a physics Auburn players celebrate with fans after a 59-42 victory against Missouri in the SEC Every other year, UA fans treck into enemy territory for the Iron Bowl. person.

Some shouted profanities. Many were escorted out of the stadium well before kickoff.
