"Converting Concrete Channels in Urban Settings into Natural Creeks and Streams: The 50-Year Plan" Abstract: How can communities in urban areas convert their concrete flood control channels into natural stream systems? What are the benefits to the owner of a channel, often the flood control district, to convert their channels to natural streams? What role should the flood control district play, or the community play, or non-profit groups play or regulators play in achieving this vision? This talk will explore these questions and the concept of using long range planning such as a "50 year plan" to accomplish this. The popular lecture series, the California Colloquium on Water, continues. Scholars of distinction in the fields of natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, humanities, law and environmental design will offer monthly lectures. These lectures are designed to increase the understanding and appreciation among students, faculty and the general public of water resources and to contribute to informed decisions about water in California. www.lib.berkeley.edu/WRCA/ccow.html
