Keynote Speaker: Russ Poppe, Executive Director
Harris County Flood Control District
Under Russell “Russ” Poppe’s, P.E., direction, the District carries out its mission to devise countywide flood damage reduction plans, implement those plans, and maintain the infrastructure. That mission is executed in the third most populated county in the United States, with a population more than 4.5 million, which includes the City of Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest city. The District has jurisdiction over the primary stormwater facilities in the county, which consist of about 1,500 channels, totaling 2,500 miles in length, as well as more than 60 regional stormwater detention basins and a 2.5-square mile wetlands mitigation bank.
