cars amounts to an extremely small amount. Think of your daily sewage runoff from cities without treatment plants or treatment plants that have limited capacities. I think we all get the picture.
Since Scott and quite a few here live in the SF Bay area. SF used to have a problem (not sure about now) whenever it rained heavily, the rain runoff went straight into the Bay raising contaminant levels. There have been numerous studies, experimental and numerial, about the Bay area envirnonment by the US Corps of Engineers and various academic institutions around the Bay area.
This problem isn't unique to the SF area, similar problems can be found in other parts of CA where rain is rare except when it rains it pours thus giving a whole of runoff that far exceeds normal treatment plant capacity. What don't get treated go straight rivers and oceans.
