LA City & County WATER Security and Resiliency Goals include RAINWATER CAPTURE: To reduce LA's dependence on imported water by 50%, it is estimated that it will cost taxpayers ten billion dollars per year for ten years. Both LA County and LA City are focused on Water Security and Resiliency.

LA County Plans for REGIONAL WATER RESILIENCE PLANNING, OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT STORMWATER CAPTURE PLAN. 
       Supervisor Janice Hahn said, "I don't think anyone would be in agreement of an alternative that would dredge the wetlands and really destroy so many years of what it has become."

Why not spend these dollars on NATURAL SOLUTIONS? Capture rainwater on-site. 1. Build new parks where rainwater can set for awhile and go back into the earth. 2. Encourage homeowners to replace grass with drought tolerant native plants that attract birds, bees, butterflies and other wildlife everyone can enjoy. 3. Stop construction site de-watering at the completion of each project. 4. Daylight buried streams (follow the raindrops on the maps below).
