These pollutants flow into storm sewers or directly into a lake, stream, or river. Then, bacteria from the trash spread to create health hazards.

According to this passage, which of the following is caused by storm water runoff?

Swimming pools fill up.

Snow melts and runs off.

Trash chokes ducks, fish, and turtles.

People leave trash on sidewalks and streets.
