Our transcription: Another factor that helps out a great deal in maintaining the flow of the water down this river is the fact that we have considerable residential and commercial development upstream of us, which provides us waters of wastewater origin.

That means the water's gone through a treatment plant once upstream and has gone through a series of biological cleansing activities, which provides us with a very suitable supply of water to go into our groundwater basin.

So we're blest with very permeable soils, a very large storage capacity, and a steady supply of water.
