37. Is there a claim in this response to The New York Times article? Harvesting Water
To the Editor:
... Rather than allowing rain and snow to evaporate or cause pollution from runoff downstream,
we can use these wasted resources in a variety of ways.
Whether runoff is stored inexpensively in the soil or in highly effective systems of water storage
tanks, called cisterns, there is a growing movement to use old-fashioned American ingenuity to
harvest precipitation (that is, collect it] when it does fall on our roofs and other impervious
surfaces.
Water harvesting is common, from Australia and New Zealand to Bermuda and beyond.
Meanwhile, retrofitting our communities to harvest precipitation would create jobs in the
building and development industries that crumbled in 2008.
