Wasted water

To the editor:

I drove by several hydrants being flushed this morning and wondered aloud, “Why can’t we capture some of the water in this drought to water our yards” or cityscape? Any possibility of saving some of this water? The water wasn’t exactly gushing out, so it appeared fairly easy to put into water drums/kegs. It bothered me, just washing away when we have had so little precipitation!
