SUMMARY:High Water: An Informal History of Flooding in Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:When a city is built along a river—and Philadelphia is wedged between two\, the Schuylkill and the Delaware—floods are an inevitable occurrence\, with sometimes tragic consequences. In this illustrated talk\, environmental historian Adam Levine will talk about some of the worst floods ever to hit Philadelphia\, beginning in the early 1800s and ending up with Hurricane Ida in 2021. He will also discuss the causes of different types of flooding that occur in urban areas\, and what we can do to help mitigate future floods. \nLevine has been delving into the history of Philadelphia’s rivers\, streams\, and water supply and drainage systems since 1998\, as a consultant to the Philadelphia Water Department and as webmaster of waterhistoryPHL.org. His talks are always illuminating\, and this one will include rarely-seen pictures\, maps\, and stories that he has uncovered in his years 25 years of research. \nAdam Levine’s presentation kicks off SUBMERGED: A Changing Global Climate a special exhibition theme centered on flooding and Global Climate Change. The exhibition is directed by Karen Young for the Fairmount Water Works and curated by Thom Duffy. The exhibition’s purpose is to bring focus to historic and current extreme weather events impacting our region and the Planet’s struggle for survival. The show opens on EARTH DAY\, Saturday\, April 22 and closes July 29.
