- Summary
- "All over the world, cities large and small were built near rivers because of what they can provide: drinking water, transportation, power sources, and more. Over the centuries, as cities grew, the rivers became polluted by sewage and industrial waste, and their natural flow patterns were disrupted. Disease and flooding were often the result. In a shortsighted attempt to address these issues, city planners buried old rivers beneath city streets. But this solution brought more problems. Finally, a group of engineers realized that freeing buried rivers could be the answer to managing urban waterways. Rhyming text illuminates the fascinating story of 'daylighting,' unearthing and restoring buried rivers to their rightful places as sources of well-being and beauty."--Front cover flap.
