Living with the Trinity: A River’s Story
Posted by Peter on May 14, 2009
This week KERA launched the multimedia project Living with the Trinity that explores the history North Texans’ relationship with the Trinity River. Visitors to the website can explore the geography, ecology and cultural history of the Trinity River through interactive maps, videos and photographs. In addition to a series of radio reports which air May 12-15 on KERA-FM (transcripts & podcasts are available), a television documentary is planned to air in the fall of 2009.
From the site: The intent of Living with the Trinity is to make the Trinity River visible again, to restore the river to its rightful place in the consciousness of those who depend upon it. In doing so, we seek to connect a knowledge of our historical relationship to the Trinity to the way we live our lives today. It is our hope that this knowledge will enable all of us to make better choices regarding our future relationship to the river and to the environment through which it flows.

Please remember Mountain Creek Lake which flows into the Trinity. It’s contaminated by chemicals dumped in the lake by the US Navy. The Navy is legally responsible to clean up our lake, but hasn’t. Certainly, a lake clean up project would bring money, jobs, a healthier environment and beauty to South Dallas/Oak CLiff. Would any group like to champion this cause?
