toilet flushing and

irrigation is supplied

by captured rainwater.

installing porous

paving helps

reduce runoff and

cleans the water before

it hits the water table.

this will also help keep our

rivers and drinking

water clean. when a

fountain is installed, use

the collected rain for

the main water supply.
