Conserving Water in the State Park

Above you see one of the two headquarter buildings at the Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park which is next to our RV resort.  Notice how the gutters along the roof are designed to catch rain and channel it into the steel tank on the right.

Above in this photo you can see that the second building has the same design with another tank.  The rain is then used to water some of their plants, and to fill the drinking apparatus in the various bird blinds in the park.  Water is precious down here, so this type of design is helpful.
