Beschreibung

Rivers provide the majority of the water that we use every day. All over the world, cities were built near rivers because of what they can provide: drinking water, transportation, power sources. But over the centuries as cities grew, the rivers became polluted by sewage and industrial waste. To fix these issues, city planners buried old rivers beneath city streets. But this brought more problems. Finally, a group of naturalists realized that freeing buried rivers could be the answer to managing urban waterways. In rhyming text, the fascinating story of restoring buried rivers to their rightful places comes to life.
