Water Conservation in the Arroyo
Water is always a precious resource, vital to our economy and lifestyle. Over the past several years, however, a number of developments have made it even more important that we protect and conserve water in our region. These include:
- falling groundwater levels
- new types of contamination, and
- increased reliance on imported water sources.
As the population of the Arroyo Seco Watershed has increased, so has water usage. There are disturbing signs that per capita usage is actually increasing in some areas of the watershed.
But there are ways to conserve this precious resource. Some are as simple as installing a small device on a faucet; some are more involved as landscaping your yard with California friendly plants.
Working together, we can make protect and conserve our precious water resources for tomorrow and for future generations.
