Watch a slide show of photographs taken between the fall of 2014 and the winter of 2017 of the middle meander in the Harris County Flood Control District’s project area on Buffalo Bayou in Memorial Park. This healthy wetlands area in the middle of the city is to be filled in and covered with turf grass, the ancient high banks leveled, and a new, shorter channel for the bayou cut through the riparian forest on the south bank. This is the plan despite the fact that eliminating meanders and shortening and straightening channels are major causes of erosion and flooding. (P. 36)
