heavy rain cause water flow





When it rains the water from the roof of several portable classrooms runs into the pond. The new sustainable classroom also provides water to the garden.
Recently we had a freak snow fall, followed by a warm front with lots of rain.
The pond filled up quickly and the water overflowed forming a little stream and a secondary pond in the wet land.
It so cool to see the water flowing.
