  2. #WaterburyCT receives $339K DEEP grant for #RisdonDam removal project

    By Dalton Zbierski, 7/4/2026

    "A vision in Waterbury is en route to becoming reality, as the city received a grant from the state this week to help kickstart the Risdon #DamRemoval Project on South Main Street.

    "The $339,000 Long Island Sound Ecosystems Grant from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will fund an important early stage of the project to remove the aging Risdon Dam.

    "The grant will cover the environmental investigation, engineering design and permitting required for the removal of the dam, which is located behind the former factory at 2100 South Main St.

    "A release this week from the city announced the award from DEEP and explained the purpose of the project.

    "Removing the dam will restore the natural flow of #HopevillePondBrook, a tributary of the #NaugatuckRiver within the #LongIslandSound #watershed.

    "The project aims to improve #AquaticHabitat, reconnect #StreamCorridors, reduce #FloodRisk and eliminate a deteriorating structure that poses safety risks for nearby properties and infrastructure, according to city officials.

    "It will take approximately one year to complete the planning, design and permitting phase. Then, the construction will move on to bidding.

    "On Wednesday, Waterbury Mayor Paul Pernerewski, Jr. said the grant represents another significant investment in the city’s infrastructure and #EnvironmentalStewardship.

    " 'Removing the Risdon Dam will improve the health of Hopeville Pond Brook, reduce flood risks and help restore a more resilient #ecosystem for #FutureGenerations,' Pernerewski said.

    "The mayor also thanked #DEEP for its support and collaboration in helping the project move forward.

    "DEEP Commissioner #KatieDykes, who will be leaving her position this month, said the project marks the state’s commitment to protecting and ensuring the health and perseverance of its waterways and the Long Island Sound Watershed.

    " 'Supporting the planning, engineering and design needed to move this project toward construction will help advance future improvements to #StreamConnectivity, aquatic habitat and #FloodResilience,' Dykes said.

    "The funding was made available to DEEP through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Long Island Sound Partnership National Estuary Program."

    Every time floods hit Nairobi, the same question fills our timelines,

    "How can we help solve this?"

    This Saturday, we answered that question , before the floods come.

    As #UNMappers Kenya, community ambassador, I ran a JOSM training session followed by a mini mapathon focused on Ruai, one of Nairobi's fastest-growing neighbourhoods in eastern Nairobi.

  19. Singapore đã cách mạng hóa quản lý nước lũ bằng cách "sống chung" với nước thay vì chống lại. Thay vì đào cống hay đắp đê truyền thống, họ biến kênh thoát nước thành không gian công cộng xanh, kết hợp công viên và khu dân cư để giảm ngập úng hiệu quả. Bài học đô thị bền vững cho thế giới!
