May 13, 2009, 6:57pm (report abuse)We applaud Senator Cardin and the EPW Committee for taking up the urgent issue of repairing and enhancing our water infrastructure, so that our rivers, lakes, and beaches - as well as our drinking water - can be clean and safe for all Americans. In addition, we urge the Senate to consider the precedent it set in passing the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act - which set aside 20 percent of water state revolving funds for green infrastructure and water efficiency projects. Green infrastructure prevents sewage and runoff pollution at the source in a cost-effective and environmentally sound manner. Similarly, saving water through enhanced efficiency is both economical and healthiest for our rivers and streams.
