We know that the Greater New Orleans Urban Water Plan is going to take time to read, digest and act upon, but we all must. It’s the most comprehensive and visionary water plan in the history of Louisiana, and it represents the pinnacle of science and of the still-evolving human endeavor to understand and live well with the natural world upon which our existence depends. We’ve taken liberty to highlight this aspect of the plan, found in the Implementation section. We urge you to read these recommendations and to use them to guide your actions. We need to rally around this section, and use it to turn words into actions. We also encourage you to link to this post and share these recommendations widely. This is the hard part—doing something, and we all must do our parts to keep this plan moving forward!
