Synopsis:
These days, when many communities are facing drought and a limited water supply, these seven films bring to life simple practices that individuals and communities can do to conserve water, become stewards of our watersheds, and slow the flow of storm water from homes and businesses. This series focuses on low-impact development practices and projects anyone can do on or around their property, such as alternatives to a lawn-based garden, proper management of lawns (if you must have one), disconnecting your down spouts, adding bioswales and rain gardens, and converting paved areas to more permeable surfaces. "Slow the Flow: Redirect Your Down Spout, Make the Water Go Out and About," teaches viewers how to use the rain water falling on their roofs as a resource for their gardens by disconnecting the path it traditionally takes to the storm drain, and instead allowing it to go into a water catchment system or into a swale.
