most of the other aquafers, there's side effects like pumping. we just don't think the quality would be good enough for drinking. >> that's interesting. the reason that's interesting and the reason i ask that question is because my house is -- sits on top of an aquafer which used to be lake geneveve. i've been curious as to what purpose that aquafer and the others in the city would have. >> if you've never seen a report done in 1913 by the city, it looked at the use of ground water, and they were like over 6 million gallons a day being used by resident with over 600 wells, most are shallow but there wasn't enough to sustain the growth of the city or meet the quality requirement. >> right. thank you so much. this has been very informative. >> we had a question regarding outreach and in exhibit e in your may 2009 outreach, that an open house -- many stakeholders including neighborhood organizations, advocacy groups and schools and library and the commission that commissioner levingto ask, did that include those institutions at golden gate park. hav

we're interesting in getting water from our aquafer and it will eliminate 4 million gallons water. i heard about green to greener, i think that's when he said it was which has to do with parks and the importance of greening the city, and yet you're going to be taking ten acres green material and replacing it with green plastic. there's a program that supervisor tang and the sunset district is promoting and i believe it's pavement to parks. it's great. it's advocating that people tear up the concrete and put plants and other materials and once again to replenish the aqufer. the amount of ground that will be removed for this golden gate park will be the equivalent 30,000 homes. you're painting over golden gate park. there was a ban on plastic bottles that can't be sold in public parks. people will not -- for good reason -- be able to buy plastic bottle water while watching a soccer game being played on plastic turf. it just makes no sense to me that you take a natural grass feed, which is an echo system for a lot of wild life, pave it over and turn it into a dump for 100,000 rubber t
