Mystery of wet Park Slope cellars solved

Brooklynian

Ever wonder why, after a heavy rain, water floods Park Slope cellars that are not near the Gowanus Canal?

 

You can find out at a presentation by Eymound Diegel, an urban planner and hydrologist, titled “A River Runs Through It.”   His talk is scheduled for 7:00 PM on Wednesday, May 7^th at the Old Stone House (3^rd Street between 4^th & 5^thAvenues).

 

Using “digital dowsing” and old maps, Diegel has located and mapped the underground streams and springs that flow down Park Slope’s slope into the Gowanus watershed.  He will answer questions about his research and findings after the presentation.

 

The event, which is free, is sponsored by the Forth on Fourth Committee of the Park Slope Civic Council.
