Update Nov. 18: Here is a link<\/a> to the recorded discussion.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us on Facebook live<\/a> at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 18, to talk about the Corps of Engineers\u2019 controversial plans<\/a> for reducing flood risk in the Buffalo Bayou watershed<\/a> from far west Houston to downtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist Sam Oser<\/a> moderates a discussion hosted by Residents Against Flooding<\/a> about natural functions and nature-based engineering and why they work better than more costly, traditional, and outdated structural approaches to flood management\u2014which can actually increase flooding and place more people in harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live panel includes Mary Anne Piacentini of the Katy Prairie Conservancy<\/a> and Susan Chadwick of Save Buffalo Bayou<\/a>. Learn about the value of prairies, wetlands, and forested, meandering streams in slowing and reducing flooding and cleansing our polluted urban waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The live session will be recorded in case you can\u2019t make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
