Comment on Galveston Bay needs thriving oysters. Here’s how you can help. by a

Fri, 28 Aug 2020 16:30:28 +0000

We have a water front property in Galveston Bay in baytown, and we have a 200 ft pier.
We are interested in the restoration of oyster program as indicated by your website below. Please let us know how to participate.
Thank you.

Mr. & mrs choi

“Do you own Bayfront property?
If so, you can hook up with Galveston Bay Foundation’s Oyster Gardening Program to restore oyster populations. Through the program, you’ll learn how help build up oyster reefs by hanging five pounds of oyster bags from your pier.”

Comment on What’s in your water conservation scorecard? by Patricia Russell-Harrison

Patricia Russell-Harrison — Mon, 28 Oct 2019 23:04:54 +0000

i am a resident in desoto, texas. did our city receive a texas water conservation scorecard? if so, what was the score? i saw farmer’s branch score on-line, but could not find a score for my city. many residents in desoto are encouraging our city to be a green city especially with water conservation. could you send me an aggregated report of the texas water conservation scorecard of those cities around the size of desoto? thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

patricia russell-harrison (214-674-9149)

Great ideas. Especially love thAt gray/blackwater treatments are dispersed through underground drip IRRIGATION vs discharge into our waterways. Wish all large scale treatments would follow this BENEFICIAL reuse strategy.

Comment on Urban wildlife and people need healthy creeks and streams, not channelized ditches by Erika Brady

It’s great that this article explains how stream restoration helps restore wildlife habitats, providing a number of environmental benefits. In order to do this, it would probably be important to figure out what stream enhancement and other restoration work to do for the most benefits. Knowing the work could help with figuring out which equipment and methods will work best and could help with finding local professionals to work with so that the work is done by someone who has the experience and tools to do it correctly.

Comment on Dismembering Texas rivers: Is your arm of a river protected? by Annie Schmitt

Annie Schmitt — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 16:36:29 +0000

In reply to robin. Thanks for your comment and we couldn’t agree more. A natural flow regime is incredibly important to a river and the habitat it supports. Ephemeral and intermittent rivers are both incredibly important to the entire Texas riverine system and don’t need water in them year-round. The dry times, when plants can take root without their seeds getting swept away, can be just as important as the wet times, when pulse flows can provide water over the sides of the banks to keep riparian life thriving. What we hope is that TCEQ will strive to protect that entire regime, along all tributaries, with their environmental flow regulations. We believe that protecting just the mainstem doesn’t really get to the heart of protecting all of Texas’s rivers, and little loopholes like measuring below a confluence can definitely game the system in meeting the required environmental flows. Thanks again for the comment and for paying attention to environmental flows. They are so important to the future of our rivers.
