Permeating Issues

摘要

I've taken up a fair amount of my column space in WaterShapes with discussions of the wise use of water, and for good reason: What could be more important to water-shapers than knowing how to make the best possible use of the material that defines our profession? And what could be better than the fact that it's possible to approach the subject in positive ways that bode well for the future? The common thread in all of this coverage - whether it's about conservation, constructed wetlands or rainwater harvesting - is that, ultimately, our aim must be to preserve the integrity of water, to cleanse it for return to the groundwater system and to use what we need and no more. Pursuing these goals is good for the planet, our businesses and, when all is said and done, for our overall quality of life as residents of this planet.
