An audio series that explores how people and projects are improving water quality throughout an urban watershed in Southeast Michigan. This podcast is part of the Clinton River Watershed Council’s education initiative, where we are helping to elevate the work being accomplished throughout the watershed by meeting the people doing the work. Our audio adventures will take you to residential backyards where folks are digging rain gardens, or into field laboratories where scientists and volunteers are exploring beneath the river surface to get up close and personal with some beautiful benthic bugs. We will be delving into the physical and philosophical aspects of stormwater at the neighborhood level. Come with us to follow the water drop as it moves through our lives, experiencing the importance of water through science, art, and some great personalities.
