Los Angeles watershed

OK, sexy it's not. But the map is cool and the issue is important and even wonkishly interesting. As everybody knows, most of the rain that falls on Los Angeles freeway and streets, and on the mountains around us, eventually finds its way to the ocean through polluted river channels and foul storm drains. The bad stuff washed down with it is why beaches are often closed after storms.

The resulting draft of the Integrated Regional Water Management Plan is online and they want to hear from you. Here's the website: have at it if you dare.
