The bayou, as you see it now, is actually at a fairly low flow situation. However, with six to eight inches of rainfall over the Houston area, the bayou in the matter of two to three hours can rise 20 to 30 feet, almost to the level of that bridge in the background. Additional, additional things that you can see in the background include part of the Texas Medical Complex. And these areas have been rapidly developed over the last few years, primarily because people in this area feel a certain amount of safety coming down near this large flood control structure. However, what has happened, let's say within the last 10 years in the Houston area, areas west of here out. Toward the Aleve Plain have developed extremely fast. And in fact, now the situation is that the laterals, which drain all of the urban developments in close to the bayou, can no longer function as they were originally designed. And very simply, it's a situation where Uncontrolled development in the upper ends of many of these bayous such as Bray's Bayou is causing very severe downstream flooding problems. Obviously the ultimate recipient of all of this damage is of course the people that live in these downstream areas. What happens then is that the upstream developments are allowed to come in and build at relatively inexpensive costs, in other words in terms of the cost of lateral drainage, etc. And people that live in the downstream area are then asked to accept those additional damage costs. That they themselves had, they had no, they were not the cause of the problem. They are just simply being asked to except those costs from a tax standpoint.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/236/collection_resources/14109/file/272619#t=1437.02,1565.07"},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/236/collection_resources/14109/file/272619/transcript/79607/annotation/123","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 3:\u003c/strong\u003e The magnitude of the problem has become so severe that the government's going to have to take bolder action than they've taken in the past.

Science indicate to me that at least people are more willing to look at the problem and recognize there is a proper role for government in this. I think in the long term, if some type of action is not taken in an area of drainage, I think the potential for real disaster in Houston is just tremendous.
