Amazing! Good JOB!!! As a Coast Guardsman, a Naturalist, and importantly, a Texan! I can not stress the importance and value of a healthy ecosystem for all of the marine shed, from inland to far out to sea, water is our LIFE. Thank God San Antonio did not make a ship channel! I have worked in the Houston ship channel. If not respected, nurtured and protected, it can become every things death. Please continue to work hard to ensure life to come!

The SARA should submit it's blueprint for "getting things done" to Washington in the hope it might help shake them up. I enjoyed this inspiring film about taking a beloved river and not only restoring it to it's original glory, but in some cases has been made better to accommodate the changes in times. It's quite amazing that so much has been accomplished with the river under sometimes dire circumstances; and yet it was done and done well, which meant that it was a collaborative effort and that it didn't stall at every obstacle and sane development wasn't stalled either, but managed. It should be an inspiration to other cities and their surrounding river areas.

Wow! I have lived in SA all my life and this was the best in understanding about SARA. Maybe we should have street water drain to a filtering system under ground before releasing to the river. Also maybe putting over the street drains "San Antonio River". This could serve as a reminder or notice where its being drained to. 😊
@rodneyringler37453 жыл бұрын
I was thinking the same thing... not only captured, treated and released at intervals of drought. But that would cost bukoos of bucks. I found out that in New Orleans after Katrina that the houses and such were being rebuilt on a porous type of concrete. that allows water to seep through it and into the ground. I do not know how well it stands up to commercial wear and tear though.

I went along the mission reach from Roosevelt all the way down to Espada Park and it is very difficult in most of these locations to launch a kayak or a canoe some of the launch locations are about the length of a football field from the parking lot and downhill to get to the kayak/canoe launch spot. imagine when we get back from paddling now we have to lug our kayak or canoe the length of a football field uphill. it does not appear that it was designed by water going persons it appears no one who canoes or kayaks helpd in the design, there should be locations were you can drive down to the water to unload your kayak or canoe and drive out such as a boat launch.

What is sad is that the outreach project albeit has done great work , however in that revitalization they have made the natural want and need to get to the river banks almost an impossible thing to do. The outreach projects keep you away from the rivers edge which to me is absolutely crazy our natural want and desire is to get to the water , they dont want you to camp, fish from edge of bank or even just traverse it via walk and hike . They have predetermined your route by the trails built yet keep you from river Very SAD!

He's talking about the raiders. Yes, and I seriously doubt any White man really knew what tribe a native was in unless they knew the person. But raiders would come down and kill a bunch of people and then run back up to the reservations and the tribe would hide them from police who came looking for these murderers. That went on for over twenty years before the government finally sent Yellow Hair out to hunt them all down. But no one ever talks about that. Later, the chiefs admitted they weren't even raiders from their tribes. But they hid them because they were raiding for the revenge of all natives. If there's any doubt raiders were horrible assassins. They even killed babies.
