I need to find a good excuse to tell my students about all of the secret hidden rivers of NYC.

You see, before the city was developed there were streams and brooks all over the place. Why do they call it BROOKlyn? Ever think about that?

Anyways, when people drained the intertidal swamps and wetlands to pack in more buildings and people they buried the streams.

People are often surprised that we can't simply ...delete a stream. But water is powerful and water will flow, you must give it space.
