That’s not what capturing means. Our ecosystems for sure depend on the runoff. But in extreme weather events like this rains hammer the state way more than usual and the runoff is excess of what the ecosystems rely on. That is what is being captured here. It will be going to waste otherwise.
- richk449 4y agoIt doesn’t seem right to declare the water not captured as waste. How can you know that the excess water from extreme weather events doesn’t benefit the ecosystem in some way? Lots of ecosystems depend on infrequent extreme events, at least of the National Geographic shows are correct.
