I think what some fail to see is that the increase in impervious surfaces (not just here) cause huge problems in nature. Water cannot enter the soil, hence the water tables. It simply runs off and away, not being able to saturate the land. Where there is no saturation, there is no evaporation. Man is making a big damn mess, period.
And on top of that, they don't plan. The lake that Raleigh uses as a main water source was originally built for flood control. Corner were cut and it was dug about 6 feet too shallow. Guess they're paying for that sort of "conservation" now....and passing it on to US!
