Several of the sites I have heard suggested are clearly in flood plains,
and regularly flood, or at least get swampy. Wouldn't this make pool
maintenance difficult and more expensive? Maybe we should turn these areas
back into natural areas, sponges to help prevent flooding downstream. If
so, where are we going to put the pool? Is there a relatively high area
that is available/
My Question is Is there an account or something that people who would
like to could donate to? I see interest in these type of things, I believe
there could be other types of funding found, and I am wondering why it
seems people think that finding funding is so much more work and so much
more time than all the work already going into the pool design.
Which leads me to a huge THANK YOU to those of you helping with all this.
