Here's one of my blog posts after Hurricane Harvey that outlines my Top 10 Planning and Engineering Actions to reduce flood risks. They are still valid. riparianhouston.com/2017/09/08/a...

There are many hours in each day! You can do it! 🤣

Amazingly beautiful and intriguing hand drawn diagram from 1855. Definitely worth opening the link to see high res version.

Screenshot of 88th Texas Senate Committee membership, which includes Senators Perry, Hancock, Blanco, Flores, Gutierrez, Johnson, Kolkhorst, Sparks, and Springer.

This is a few days old, but Texas Senate Committee on #Water, Agriculture, and Rural Affairs released their interim report. Looks like supporting new water supplies may be a legislative priority in the 89th. senate.texas.gov/cmtes/88/c70...

Always read the plaque.

This strangeness occurs in their app?

Stream flow and rainfall monitoring station on Buffalo Bayou at Dairy Ashford in Houston, Texas. Operated by Harris County #Flood Control District and the U.S. Geological Survey. Residents can create automated alerts based on its measurements.

Highly recommended for #planning, #architecture, #art, and #engineering types!

Looking forward to seeing the first #greeninfrastructure tax abatement to be approved in an upcoming #Houston city council meeting. Thanks to @abbiekamin.bsky.social, Sallie Alcorn, Gwen Tillotson, and Andrew Busker for your work!

On my list! Currently reading "The Death and Life of Great American Cities," by Jane Jacobs.

Happy Thanksgiving!
