    The Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer is a $297 million project designed to convey water owned by Houston from the Trinity River basin to Lake Houston.

  2. Making our coastlines more resilient (Guidry News, 12/25/2012)
    Part of the underlying value of seeking coastal resilience is adapting to the coastal conditions of that area, understanding the geological and hydrological, ecological and historical forces impacting the beachfront and making nearshore and upland decisions based on that. A resilient coastline does not keep people away – it just keeps them safer when storms strike, giving them a better chance of having a home to come back to once the wind stops blowing.
