• Think Blue: The City of San Diego’s approach to storm water education

    While the rains have passed, I notice that there is still water pouring down storm drains from sprinklers set to overwater. In fact, I just saw the sprinklers on a large public strip outside my office in West Oakland come on mid-day, and then overwater so that water ran helter skelter down Mandela Parkway to the storm drain, a terrible misuse of water, recycled water in this case. The City of San Diego is taking a forwward approach to providing information to the public on how to reduce storm water runoff and the pollutants that water contains. Here’s a great short video on dog waste and water management.
