Houston's Exploration Green Prevents Flooding With Detention Ponds
8/4/2023
Houston's Exploration Green — recognized as one of the best examples of green infrastructure in the U.S. — is an impressive flood retention project. Spanning 200 acres and consisting of public greenspace, a nature preserve, and a series of five natural-looking retention ponds, Exploration Green cost $43 million to construct. The ponds are designed to hold some level of water permanently, while also being able to take in stormwater during surges.

Here's How Wastewater Facilities Could Tackle Food Waste, Generate Energy, And Slash Emissions
8/3/2023
Most Australian food waste ends up in landfill. Rotting in the absence of oxygen produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. While some facilities capture this “landfill gas” to produce energy, or burn it off to release carbon dioxide instead, it’s a major contributor to climate change. Valuable resources such as water and nutrients are also wasted.
