Theyre moving to the desert and give up this notion that they have to bring eastern vegetation with them and make the necessary adaptations in their own life, desert communities can continue to live. Man the biggest water user in the desert is turf. Turf uses a lot of irrigation and uses spray irrigation, so what weve done here is use artificial turf. Youre never going to be able to achieve the look of back east or the look of, say, california, with subtropical plants, but our landscapes are sti...

Man the biggest water user in the desert is turf. Turf uses a lot of irrigation and uses spray irrigation, so what weve done here is use artificial turf. Youre never going to be able to achieve the look of back east or the look of, say, california, with subtropical plants, but our landscapes are still lush and use about 30 of what the subtropical landscape with turf would use. Las vegas has adopted a drought tolerant ordinance. Were using less water today than we used five years ago, despite ove...

And then create more pervious surface, whether its by having driveways that allow water to soak in or different landscaping to try to eliminate the amount of runoff that comes off our land so that the system, even with the development it has, acts more like a natural system and filters that water. Water quality and sewage infrastructure isnt the sexiest of political agendas, but by raising the awareness about Water Quality issues, we can create political pressure to get our issues solved. About ...

As long as people recognize theyre moving to the desert and give up this notion that they have to bring eastern vegetation with them and make the necessary adaptations in their own life, desert communities can continue to live.

Call the second phase of three phases. Between 2013 and 2017, perhaps between 2017 and 2025, will be this phase. This is the phase that has the mission rock project. The beginning of pier 70, it has the arena built out. It also has central subway. It has the caltrain electric strife indication, the implementation of phases of tep and the bike plan. But what im paying attention to or we all are hopefully is are we linking these investments so they fall in time for the land use and big development...

Improve on for the next project . Thank you. Well, looking even back as 1999 when we started projecting what we thought might happen, that was before the stadium opened, i think there were i have data here from my colleague Jerry Robbins who has been instrumental in helping build the plan. It is a little more than 52 . Were expected to come by car during the weekday. That went up to 68 , 65 on the weekend. Those are the assumptions in the eir. Theyre pretty close to what happened initially. What...

Its a relatively new city under constant construction. But because its in the arid mojave desert, the challenge of las vegas is supply. Woman all the growth and everything thats occurred in Southern Nevada has been with Colorado River water. Without it, the west as you know it today couldnt exist. Narrator to sustain their growing community with its limited supply, las vegas learned to be extremely efficient. Mulroy this is a desert, and it has its own beauty, but you have to get beyond what you...

Concrete made it possible to have minimum land so the water can be carried to the ocean in the fastest possible way. But, unfortunately, because of population growth and poor housekeeping, people are putting a lot of pollutants on the street and the streets are the openings to our stormwater sewer system. In an average year, 4,000 to 5,000 tons of trash ends up in long beach. Man weve created a system to deal with flooding but inadvertently created a pathway for pollution to get into our waterwa...

But neither the federal epa nor the epd back in the 90s were willing to take action under the clean water act to make the city fix its plumbing. So in 1994, we started upper chattahoochee river keeper. We filed a clean water act lawsuit. In 1997, we won. And so for the past decade, the city has embarked on a program to clean up the river. Now, with 1,800 miles of sewer system, three sewage plants and combined sewer overflows, it took a number of years to figure out what would be the solution. We...
