Newton League of Women Voters®
Coming this fall :
Stormwater Management I
The Flood Last time: In Over our Heads?
What caused the March 2010 floods? Where were the floods and why? What are wetlands and floodplains, and why are they beneficial? Why was sewage mixed into the water flowing into some basements?
Panelists Bob Zimmerman, Tom Daley and Fred Abernathy will explore questions about the Charles River watershed, storm water management, and what happened last spring.
SAVE THE DATE: Sept. 21, 7 pm, Druker Auditorium, Main Library
AND
Stormwater Management II
The Flood Next Time: Do we need an Ark?
As climate change increases the likelihood of extreme weather, what can residents and cities do to prevent drainage problems, loss of property or worse? How can future floods be mitigated? What's new in EPA regulations?
Panelists Ellen Douglas, Bob Rooney and Martin Pillsbury will explore these and other questions.
SAVE THE DATE: Oct. 26, 7 pm, Druker Auditorium, Main Library
Co-sponsors: Newton Free Library, Green Decade/Newton, Newton History Museum, and Newton Conservators
