If Our Water Could Talk Tease
Clip | 1m 27s
Water issues and how to address them are some of the biggest challenges facing Buffalo, NY
Water has defined Buffalo over the last two hundred years. Water helped build Buffalo into a shipping hub in the 1800’s and a manufacturing powerhouse in the 1900’s. Most of those industries are long gone but their legacy along the waterways of Western New York is not. Many water related issues face Buffalo today, industrial clean up, environmental restoration, and public access are only a few.
