This gave me a better understanding of how we conserve water by making changes to our yards and streets. Elmer Avenue was able to change their landscaping to include more drought-tolerant plants, collection barrels were added to yards, and "bioswales" were added along the streets so that water could be drained into underground storage chambers. If this one neighborhood was able to do this, then it seems like the rest of Los Angeles can do the same. Small changes can make a huge difference in our ability to tolerate droughts.
It is so dissapointing to see how such a big river/concrete tub used to be filled with water constantly and now it is all empty with signs saying no diving or water-skiing, yet there is no water at all. We look at these plants that aren't watered frequently and everything is dying. I think we should be paying as much as we can to keep this city from becoming a desert. I agree also with what they are stating about what we can do and how it will improve our plumbing.

Wow. Now I understand how we conserve water by making those changes to our streets and yards.
