Description

The Supreme Court is evaluating the scope of the Clean Water Act and its protections of wetlands, with oral arguments scheduled for this fall. Depending on the outcome, it might get easier for developers to build on sites that cause flooding ... so what does this mean for Houstonians? To help answer that question and others, host Lisa Gray speaks with Kristen Schlemmer, the legal director at Bayou City Waterkeeper, who is filing a brief in the case.
Here's an article Kristen recommended with more information on what's next for our water.
