🌿 Did you know that permeable paving can reduce stormwater runoff by up to 80%?

This innovative approach allows rainwater to seep through the surface, enhancing groundwater recharge and minimizing flooding.

People whose drinking water comes from newer groundwater had a higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease than those whose drinking water comes from older groundwater. #groundwaterrecharge #groundwater #percolation #ancientwater #disease #water #Parkinsons https://www.newsweek.com/one-type-of-drinking-water-linked-to-up-to-62-higher-parkinsons-risk-11603834
One Type of Drinking Water Linked To up to 62% Higher Parkinson’s Risk

The study looked at 12,370 people with Parkinson's disease and more than 1.2 million people without the disease.

Some Pajaro Valley farms are paid to solve California’s water crisis by returning stormwater to the earth

Can agriculture, long considered a drain on the state’s water resources, help solve California’s water crisis? In the Pajaro Valley, some farmers are being paid to return stormwater to the ground. The effort is part of a joint project among local agencies, landowners and UC Santa Cruz to install groundwater recharge basins on some local farms. Participating farms receive cash rebates based on how much water they capture. But while early results are promising, many challenges remain.
