Protestors called a proposal to set up a 1,000-foot water slide in downtown Los Angeles absurd in a time of drought. The people have spoken. Following their vocal opposition, Councilman Jose Huizar worked with the slide event’s organizers to draft a new proposal, in which the 15,000 to 20,000 gallons of water brought in for the event are recycled and used to irrigate Griffith Park, the Los Angeles Times reports.
