EPAWatersense

In your home, business, school, municipal buildings, the simplest way to keep the volume of fresh water available is to practice common sense use and conservation. Old habits waste water AND money! By recognizing how we unknowingly waste water, we can save money at the individual, business and municipal levels, and the environment!

But ….. effectively identifying and managing the water resources in any watershed has the following source points:
headwaters – where rain falls and starts the downhill journey
points of potential impairment going downstream
opportunities for nature based retention and reuse on the downward journey
rewilding or removing impervious grey culverting or diversions in favor of slowing the speed of scouring and returning water to groundwater or aquifer
education at each opportunity on simple water conservation measures and keeping water on the property as opposed to sending it to central collection or storm water systems
receiving waters – be they fresh or salt water – controlling the inflow is both an environmental and a financial benefit
