Putah Creek Council and UCD chapter of Engineers Without Borders

Amelia Holmes, the president of the UC Davis chapter of Engineers Without Borders came to the studio today and talked with us about the work that UCD students and faculty are doing as members of EWB. They have been working in Uganda to improve access to clean water (home water filtration projects) and sanitation (latrine projects). They are also putting together a project in Bolivia that would increase access to water. To learn more and to contact EWB go to their website: www.ewb.ucdavis.edu.









Libby Earthman, the executive director of the Putah Creek Council and Rich Marovich, the streamkeeper for the Putah Creek, spoke with Local Dirt about the history of the creek and its transformations from a creek to a gravel pit and back to a creek. It is a very inspiring story of a group of people revitalizing their community through volunteerism, activism and collaboration. The Putah Creek Council is always looking for volunteers and is supported through membership and donations. Contact them through their website: www.putahcreekcouncil.org/
