The Hydro-Illogical Cyle

It has been raining generously for the past few days in the Cary area. The grasses are greener but unfortunately, the greener they get, the more apathetic one might tend to become about conserving water. The truth is that in most cases, it is safe to say that rain will eventually always come. The problem is that if we do not make conservation a regular habit, when we are in a more severe drought situation in the future, we as individuals and communities will have to bear more intense consequences. The shift from concern to apathy and back is explained in a diagram called the "Hydro-Illogical Cycle". Follow this link to take a look for a better understanding of why the problem persists even in the onset of these luxurious rains.
