a drought is no time for a giant water slide in los angeles

Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but with three plansblock-
It\'s a bad idea to slide into the city center next month.
The concept itself is great.
Sliding city will be 1,000 in the center of the city-foot-
Long vinyl with a pool at the end.
Like-
The sky water park falls from the sky.
Photos from last month\'s Salt Lake City slide show many happy people frolicking in the water and sliding on inflatable pool toys.
It looks like a public summer event like L. said. A.
It\'s a fashionable and interesting city. The problem?
A lot of water was wasted. ------------
Filed. 13, 5 a. m.
: Earlier versions of the article said that the event would use as much water as the water lost during the main break on the water near UCLA.
The broken pipe wasted 20 million gallons.
Water slides can consume up to 20,000 gallons. ------------
The event organizer told the LAist slide that 15,000 to 20,000 gallons of water would be used-
There is enough water to supply 162 Angels a day.
They also said that water will be recycled, treated with pool chemicals and properly handled throughout the event.
Nevertheless, it is not clear whether the city of LA.
Considering that 4,000 people have signed a petition online against such an event during the drought, street closure permits will be issued to organizers.
Mew also sneer at this-
This suggestion was made and it was suggested that the organizers be fined for wasting water.
DWP spokesman Joe Ramallo said: \"This sends an absolutely wrong message about Los Angeles . \" He wants to know if people in Northern California see pictures of angels splashing on giant slides
\"This image alone will do harm to all the work that Los Angeles residents do to save water.
Let\'s face the reality. appearance is very important.
California\'s water policy is influenced by regional politics.
Southern California is considered to be a water pig occupying the natural resources of Northern California.
However inaccuratematters.
City organizers should put the city center proposal on hold and show more sensitivity to the drought.
This does not necessarily mean that the event should be in L. A.
Can they use the sea water on the beach?
We are in the midst of drought, and it is time to think more creatively.
