<br /> Earth & Sky :More Info About Natural Drainage Page 8 of 9 <br /> DA: <br /> I think that there's going to be a real movement towards sustainable <br /> infrastructure happening in this country, maybe we're some years ahead of <br /> our time here. euf I think, especially for people who are going into <br /> engineering fields, this Is a new and exciting place to look. Just Tike in the old <br /> days, people used ttl learn to build dams. Well now, they're going to school <br /> and learning how to tleconstrud them. So I think the future is looking <br /> towards what nature does well, and learning to not [ry to overwhelm nature <br /> with engineering but to do what she does very well and try to mimic those <br /> functions. Even though we may never mimic or replace that forest that was <br /> once here when we built the city, we may be able to mimic the function that <br /> nature had done for us, and I think Its an exciting new field for [hose folks <br /> who are In school now or thinking about a new career. <br /> The following person was interviewed for today's program.
