In 2005, the Clear Lake Water Authority bought the land of an adjacent golf course, with a vision to create five massive detention ponds.

Each could hold 100 million gallons of stormwater! That's 750 Olympic-sized swimming pools! 🏊‍♂️ #StormwaterManagement

Thanks!
Every city and town needs a #StormwaterManagement plan. Mine got help from some water experts who also knew how to write local ordinances, and now every time you build something, or even add a shed to your back yard, you have to remedy the increased runoff. There's a bunch of rules for new development, etc. It's really cool. Maybe it helps downstream towns more than local residents, but it needs to be done.
