I guess I forget how truly fortunate I am concerning pollutants and precipitation. Here we are more concerned with diverting the water from flooding us out, not collecting it! There is never a shortage of water here. One can drive a well around our area and hit water at 10 or 12 ft, and good water at 20. We live close to sea level. We seldom 'collect' water because the open containers serve as nurseries for the mosquito larvae.

As for pollutants, our only saving grace is our sparse population. Many of the people here pay no heed to soil and water contamination. We've been battling with the neighbors over a pile of smashed automobiles they heaped up on the edge of our pond. None of the fluids were drained. Here is a lovely view of it.
