SUMMARY:Earth Day at Discovery Green
DESCRIPTION:Discovery Green Conservancy\, in partnership with Citizens’ Environmental Coalition is proud to announce this year’s Earth Day featuring Houston Public Works’ Water Works Festival is all about art! \nArtists have a way of helping people see the beauty of the world in a new way.

At Earth Day\, you can be both! \nHouston Public Works’ popular Water Works Festival will also return to Earth Day. As a central environmental issue\, the proper care and management of Houston’s water is a topic that affects everyone. The city’s present and future relies on it. \nExpect family-friendly performances\, live music\, art installations\, face painting\, crafts and activities. Educational talks\, panel discussions\, spoken word performances and more will be provided. And\, of course\, there will be plenty of time to enjoy the water features at Discovery Green.

SUMMARY:Water Wonks Lecture Series #5
DESCRIPTION:Join Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance for their May installment of their Water Wonks series\, which will focus on the regional flood planning process and why conserving floodplains are important. \nAnnalisa Peace (GEAA Executive Director) and Debbie Reid (GEAA Technical Director) will explain the Texas Water Development Board’s regional flood planning process\, which will allocate state funds for flood mitigation strategies and provides opportunities to employ green infrastructure and land conservation strategies. The video by David Skuodas (Director of Design\, Construction\, and Maintenance at the Mile High Flood District) presents his analysis of why governments are often playing catch-up to pay for maintenance of stormwater channels\, basins\, and other structures. In many cases\, it would take hundreds or thousands of years for a city to collect enough taxes to pay to adequately maintain drainage infrastructure from new development. Mr. Skuodas advocates for working with the existing natural stream channels\, maintaining flood resiliency and water quality\, protecting public safety\, and saving taxpayers money.

SUMMARY:Water Wonks Lecture Series #6
DESCRIPTION:Join Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance for their June installment of their Water Wonks series\, which will focus on Transportation\, Growth\, and Planning in the Greater San Antonio Region. \nDevelopment in San Antonio\, Austin\, and the Hill Country is growing at such a rate that it seems like the only thing left to do is decide on what we’re going to call the all-encompassing metroplex (Greater San Antonio? ASA? Sanstin?) Don’t worry about the name too much – with the population in this area expected to grow to over 8 million people by 2050\, there are a variety of transportation\, housing\, and resource issues that still need addressing. In this session\, we’ll review local\, state\, and federal transportation planning policies and processes and discuss how the region can responsibly prepare for future development.
