"When Angela Chalk first heard there were ways that ordinary people could
offset flooding in New Orleans, she was skeptical.
Her neighbors in the Seventh Ward knew all about heavy rains that brought
knee-high floodwaters, spilling into porches and marooning cars and homes, and
were frustrated that it was something they felt powerless to stop.
Then she heard Jeff Supak, head of a nonprofit organization now called Water
Wise Gulf South, talk about how simple fixes like rain gardens and vegetated
ditches, also known as bioswales, could soak up extra rain.
She challenged Mr. Supak to prove it."
