The facts about stormwater do not paint a pretty picture. This book has captured these facts in words and pictures. For the homeowner, Bill moves you from better cleansers to better lawn care. He points out that perhaps 75% of lawns in the Upper Midwest need no phosphorous at all. The entire book calls us to re-think many closely held assumptions about what constitutes responsible citizen behavior that results in better water quality. For example, Americans spend $25 billion dollars annually on lawn care, and apply ten times more pesticides than a similar-sized area of farmland. Bill evaluates gardens, automobiles, and even the family dog. When you are done with his book, you will realize how many things will need to change at the household level if you want to make a difference in water quality through personal action.Only by rubbish removal and related efforts will water quality be assured. The solid-waste portion of this watery rubbish often contains material harmful both physically and biologically to the wildlife dependent upon these areas.
