Rethinking H2o

What is the status of water efficiency in Florida?  Because Florida experiences some of the highest amounts of rainfall in the United States, this creates a breadth of water opportunities and water challenges for Florida.  In this podcast with Deirdre Irwin, the Water Conservation Coordinator at the St Johns River Water Management District, we learn about issues of water efficiency as it pertains to water runoff in urban environments and widespread irrigation for farming.  Deirdre will help us answer questions such as: What are the risks to the aquifers? What storm water rules exist to prevent excessive run offs? And what strategies can be imposed to ensure a healthy watershed for all water users?  While businesses and farming operations play a significant role in the Florida watershed story, the individual households also play a significant role.  It may seem insignificant, but you will learn about what you as the individual can do to make an impact on the water shed environment.
