Water
If you enjoy drinking good water, washing your car or watering your lawn, you depend on the land’s aquifer. Food plants need irrigation which depend on the aquifer. Year after year its level is dropping, and more and more pollution, especially from parking lots and other paved areas is getting into it. Water use restrictions restrain more legitimate uses year after year. Pervious concrete is part of the solution. It allows the rain to recharge the aquifer, but in the process it filters’ out harmful pollutants.
If we don't capture that rainwater it will become polluted storm water which robs our aquifer and damages our environment.
Don't waste rainwater by turning it into storm water. |
As rainwater cleans streets and flushes out gutters and is then collected by storm sewers, it turns into polluted storm water. |

LOST RAIN WATER = WORSE DROUGHT CONDITIONS Once rain water has turned to storm water it is wasted. Ponds dry the aquifer retreats, trees and plants suffer or die and eventually drinking water becomes scarce. Can we afford this? |
