Save the Rain is Onondaga County’s award-winning initiative to improve the water quality of Onondaga Lake and its tributaries, which started as a comprehensive stormwater management plan intended to reduce the amount of pollution that flows into Onondaga Lake and its tributaries. Their programs include rain barrel distribution, tree planting, in-classroom education partnerships with Onondaga County schools, and the Green Improvement Fund to support the development of green infrastructure and stormwater mitigation techniques on private property.
