Stormwater runoff from industrial areas with cars can harm small river creatures more than runoff from residential areas. The runoff can contain heavy metals that affect the bugs living in the water. The bugs in the reservoir are affected even more than those in the river. However, having a series of reservoirs can help clean up the water and make it better for the bugs living there.
