  2. What the river beds\viaducts need is lights at the intersections and bridges. As it passes through the heart of cities at night unbeknownst to millions of sleeping humans the amount of water wasted per rainstorm is mind boggling. Dirty? Yes, Cleanable and recyclable? Yes. Trillions of gallons out to sea unfiltered and full of only god knows what, but defiantly reusable. IF we can remove salt from the ocean water, a very bad idea by the way, we can surely reclaim this water every winter, the rain isn't just to clean up the viaducts trash out to Long Beach, or any of the other rivers... clean up all the riverbeds w a volunteer program using everyone and anyone in trade for free food medicine water and shelter and we then have a water gathering system instead of a water run off system doing nothing but wasting water.
