    • From the Save Barton Creek Association –

    At this month’s Creek Crew Happy Hour, Guest Speaker Kevin M. Anderson Ph.D. of Austin Water’s Center for Environmental Research (CER) will be speaking on The Aquatic City: The Ecology of Urban Waterways.

    Urban aquifers, creeks, rivers, lakes, and ponds can support a rich variety of life, but they are also highly vulnerable to pollution and other human impacts. Austin is such an aquatic city that we have a “watershed protection” department rather than an “environmental protection” department. This lecture will examine the role of water and waterways in urban ecology, and it will highlight examples of aquatic habitats and the biodiversity found there, as well as examples of management and restoration of urban waterways.

    Kevin has given this talk a few times around town. If you haven’t had a chance to attend yet, now’s your opportunity!

    Creek Crew is a monthly happy hour hosted by Save Barton Creek Association the 2nd Monday of the month at 6:30 pm at Baker Street Pub.
