U.S. Army Corps of Engineers research ecologist, Dr. Gary Dick, explains how these new Trinity River wetlands in Dallas work to a visitor during a public tour Saturday. For most of the year the wetlands are managed as a quality wildlife habitat, a natural area populated by diverse native Texas plants and animals. But they also stand ready for duty whenever the heavy rains come. These wetlands are part of the Dallas Floodway System and are a green tech solution to reduce flood risk for Dallas citizens by forming an alternate Trinity River pathway to efficiently convey floodwaters out of the central part of the city.
