FInally! People are getting wise to storm water capture

Storm Water, Long a Nuisance, May Be a Parched California’s Salvation


These parts of the article are so important, but its not the whole story. Who gets to put what where will matter a great deal in the future. Are there going to be subsidies? Who gets them? Implementation will be complex. But, acknowledgement is a start.

"Further, the battle to capture rain will involve more than persuading people to tear out lawns or take water-on-water-off military showers; there is no single project that can capture all the rainwater lost.
Rather, officials said, the job will require a variety of efforts: installing plots of land where water can soak into the ground (these are known as “spreading grounds”); building underground cisterns for homes and businesses; installing new drainage systems on streets, in homes and in shopping center parking lots; and issuing more of the city-subsidized 50-gallon rain barrels that have become an increasingly common sight in backyards here."

  1. I've actually asked Rolex this question myself and replica watches they more or less said that a Rolex chronograph watch should measure more than just the time so they needed a cool name to replica watches indicate such. I do admit that Cosmograph does have a pleasant sense of mystery to it. Daytona was added as Rolex began to have a more serious involvement with the world of racing and named the watch replica watches sale family after the now famous race track in Florida. Unlike the other models in the now Rolex Oyster Professional collection, the Daytona would eventually adopt a slightly different case design due to the existence of the replica watches chronograph pushers. The original Daytona models did not include screw-down pushers, but the collection replica watches would later be known for this feature as Rolex added them to increase durability and water and dust resistance.
