Trash and litter have many negative implications in our beloved communities. Not only does it look ugly and pollutes Lake Pontchartrain, but it contributes to more flooding! Trash, litter, and organic debris can impede the flow of stormwater into the catch basins and create more flooding issues. In Florida, local governments began to introduce trash capturing devices to help stop pollution in the bays and rivers. An unintended consequence was the reduction of flooding!
Happy Women’s History Month from Water Wise! We celebrate all of the amazing women who make up the Water Wise team and acknowledge their rich backgrounds from community organizing, public health, disaster risk management, landscape architecture, affordable housing development, art and culture, mothers, sisters, caregivers, leaders, the list goes on and on. Pictured are: Cheryl Austin, Angela Chalk, Katherine Prevost, Dana Nuñez Brown, Brenda Lomax Brown, Pamela Carrie, Sabrina Mays, and Trisha Vicari.
Join us on Saturday March 6th from 10am until 11:30am for the Virtual Water Wise Green Infrastructure 101 Workshop! Just by attending, you can be placed in a raffle for a free rain barrel built by Dynisha of AEO Rain Collectors pictured here valued at $150! The rain barrel raffle is sponsored by @posigen_solar_solutions
“When communities ( in Florida) suddenly had money to begin the programs that would buy the equipment that catches “floatables” that impair a watershed, the unintended consequence was that, unbeknownst to them, they were preventing flooding! Yes. Stormwater programs began as an effort to comply with the Clean Water Act, but the money coming in served to build out the infrastructure that would keep flooding down too.”
“No where for the water to go.” Some flooding reports from across the City from today’s storm (February 11, 2021). Here’s what residents are saying is contributing to flooding in their neighborhoods.
