Slowing A Tide Of Pollutants
Runoff from cities is the fastest growing source of pollution to our rivers, lakes and oceans and is harming the habitat of fish, coral and marine mammals. Santa Monica California has demonstrated alternatives to this pollution with an innovative plant that recycles polluted runoff from its streets, avoiding impacting its coastal waters. The city also requires new construction to limit the amount of concrete and asphalt that stops rainwater from penetrating the ground and causes it to run off into the surrounding water bodies impacting their water quality.
Slowing the tide of pollutants

I'm afraid that the excess water would attract mosquitoes and/or other mold/mildew problems. Our water table is extremely shallow in some areas only a couple of feet.I run an Orlando Information Website and would like to repost this with permission, but would first like to see if it is valid for FL.May I have permission to repost this on ? Please advise.Thank you ,Rich Bianco
