I do try to educate on better ways, including collecting rain water for my garden, and using the least chemicals or no chemicals where ever i can.

From increasing the amount of bacteria in the water, to fueling huge algae blooms that suffocate the wildlife and plants by covering the surface. I do wonder though, it seems like there is always a really swampy area around a lot of farmland. I wonder if that is where at least part of the runoff goes, and it causes the water to be like that.Kevin Woodhttp://www.1-877-junktub.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247943366370520835.post-88463660063916360032017-06-28T16:26:28.128-05:002017-06-28T16:26:28.128-05:00It really seems like you used to see a lot more pe...It really seems like you used to see a lot more people with buckets washing their cars vs. just letting the water run. Water isn't really any cheaper now than it was, and you still need a place to put your soap. So why the shift? I also wonder where exactly the drains in a self-service car wash lead to. You would hope it would be someplace filtered and cleaned, but I am sure not all of them are.Mike Weimarhttp://www.iconicdisplays.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247943366370520835.post-92226199496859687352017-06-21T18:20:20.588-05:002017-06-21T18:20:20.588-05:00This is one of the reasons they stress not to thro...This is one of the reasons they stress not to throw away electronic waste. The chemicals used in making it can leach out, and end up in the groundwater as well. Last thing everybody needs is elevated arsenic, lead, etc in their water.

I was surprised to learn that a leaky faucet can waste more than 3000 gallons per year. Replacing the gaskets to stop the leak is definitely a higher priority for me now. <a href="http://www.lewisplumbingsantabarbara.com/santa-barbara-sewer-and-drain-service/" rel="nofollow"><br />Plumber</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035615066946354534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247943366370520835.post-91657043391006564362015-03-11T14:16:33.220-05:002015-03-11T14:16:33.220-05:00Thanks for sharing this great idea in reducing our...Thanks for sharing this great idea in reducing our daily water consumption!

It is also fast running out or being polluted too . We also have a history of depending on groundwater tracing it to the days of Indus Valley Civilization approximately 2600 B.C where the first dug wells have been archaeologically discovered and excavated. I find your work commendable and invite you to join our Facebook group Open wells of India and the World and perhaps share knowledge and experience as we collectively work towards protecting this wonderful yet mostly unseen heritage. zenrainmanzenrainmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204577244374374932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247943366370520835.post-78779969500569171692014-05-15T17:02:42.652-05:002014-05-15T17:02:42.652-05:00Our office is located at 3201 Pioneers Blvd, Suite...Our office is located at 3201 Pioneers Blvd, Suite 105, Lincoln, NE.The Groundwater Foundationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296153815316744722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247943366370520835.post-80128096412277028552014-04-30T08:59:42.410-05:002014-04-30T08:59:42.410-05:00Where is your office and open house?
