| The Issue:
Economic Vitality, homeland security, quality of life, and
natural ecosystems all rely on ample, clean water supplies.
By adopting strategies to control run-off, such as effective
stormwater management, we can begin to reduce non-point source
pollution. By preserving and restoring wetlands and coastal
ecosystems, such as barrier islands and marshlands, we can
maintain and improve our ecological systems and mitigate natural
disasters, including hurricanes and floods. The American Society
of Landscape Architects continues to advocate for these and
other measures, which encourage wiser use of this precious
and finite resource.
