Problem
Natural waterways in towns are often buried underground and forced into pipes because they seem to be in the way. What disappears with them is a place that draws people, animals, and plants toward it on its own.
Solution
Keep the town's natural waters open and visible rather than burying them in pipes, for pools, brooks, and streams pull people, animals, and life toward their banks.
