- Title
Review: Sinking Chicago: Climate Change and the Remaking of a Flood-Prone Environment by Harold L. Platt.
- Authors
Hoch, Charles
- Abstract
Reformers emerged who combined increasingly sophisticated knowledge about biotic communities, ecosystems, water chemistry, and treatment with the longstanding activist focus on nature conservancy. The Sanitary District of Chicago (SDC) was formed in 1890 to help remedy local flooding that found the city with more than a million people using its combined stormwater sewage system to periodically send effluent into Lake Michigan - the primary source of drinking water.
