Butler University’s Friesner Herbarium and Center for Urban Ecology, with funding partners Let’s Talk About Water Inc. and CUASHI (Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science Inc.), present a free screening of the film Water Under the City on Thursday, September 24, at 7:00 PM in the Butler University Pharmacy and Health Sciences Building, Room 156.

For more information, call 317-940-9413 or email Rebecca Dolan at rdolan@butler.edu.

The film, made by IUPUI students in 2011, explains why Indianapolis and other cities have combined sewer overflows (CSOs; infrastructure that diverts untreated sewage into local rivers and steams during high rainfall events), the hazards they present, and the major ongoing effort to deal with the issue.

A panel discussion with local water resource experts led by Julia Angstmann, Director of the Center for Urban Ecology, will follow the screening.
