When LA turned it’s river into a storm drain
When LA turned it’s river into a storm drain Starting in the 1930’s Los Angeles turned the LA river into a big storm drain while facing a strange paradox. They were running out of water and trying to stop flooding in the city. This is when they turned the river into the biggest storm drain ever conceived, and started importing water from places like the Colorado River.
Los Angeles is now working with the LA Riverkeeper to launch a program called One Water, which is a “forward-thinking sustainability strategy that views all water—whether it’s groundwater, stormwater, wastewater, or drinking water—as a single, interconnected resource.” (Read more here about One Water)
This is the kind of opportunity that AquiPor wants to be a part of, helping cities create porous corridors of AquiPor concrete where flooding and stormwater pollution could be reduced, allowing cities like LA to collect that water instead of just dumping it into the ocean, unused and untreated.
This is the mission of AquiPor, to bring these kind of solutions to the world. Please check out what we’re doing and consider becoming an investor.
