From Faucet to Flush: The Future of New York's Water System
Submitted by coquille on December 15, 2008 - 09:31.New York’s century-old water system faces new challenges as it stretches to meet the needs of a growing city. Can we ensure a supply of fresh water indefinitely? How can we reuse so-called “grey” water, and how can we keep sewage overflow out of the rivers?
Emily Lloyd, former commissioner of New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection, will discuss what her agency is doing to clean up New York’s waterways and upgrade its water system with Paul Mankiewicz, expert on wastewater and president of the Gaia Institute; Alex Matthiessen, Hudson Riverkeeper and president of Riverkeeper; and Christine Holowacz, co-chair, Greenpoint Waterfront Association for Parks and Planning. Presented in conjunction withGrowing and Greening New York: PlaNYC and the Future of the City.
