It's never been more important to learn about your greater watershed and local waterways, especially those buried or forced into narrow channels with no natural flood protection around them.

It's fascinating in that it's right next door to High Park, a place buzzing all year. And yet, because Swansea is predominantly residential, this urban ravine is overlooked by many. Ex: I lived in Parkdale for a decade, wandered High Park often, yet never crossed over Ellis to explore Catfish Pond.

"Years later, the work continues... They've placed logs & branches in the stream to moderate the water's flow and allow sediment in the water to filter it as they would in any natural waterway so that ultimately the water is leaving Havergal cleaner than when it entered." www.cbc.ca/news/science...

"Climate change and urbanization are heating and flooding our cities. Restoring buried waterways — and their riverbanks — could be one answer to many problems: cooling heat islands, absorbing carbon dioxide, cleaning the air, reducing flooding and providing a habitat for wildlife and native plants."

“It took 200 years to mess up the rivers. And they were messed up for good reasons — like, we’re not dying of cholera and typhoid [anymore],” Helen Mills says. “But there were many unintended consequences.” Those consequences are still being felt today.
