Kevin Griebenow

When: January 26th, 2023 - 7:00 - 8:30 PM.
Where: A Zoom Presentation or Live In Library - your choice                      
What: "Understanding Floods and Water Management -  How Much is it Going to Rain and When Will the Water Come Roaring Through Here?"

Flooding is a very trying event to say the least as residents of Prospect Heights know all to well. 

Hydrology, the movement of water across land is important to the history of our location and the shaping of the land. The city of Chicago (and Prospect Heights) is here because of hydrology.

Join us as we welcome Kevin Griebenow, P. E. as he will present his highly informative presentation on Hydrometeorology and Hydrology and how it affects us. Rare rain events like those in St. Louis, Missouri, Dallas, Texas and Aurora, Illinois will be presented. These storms were all 100-year events or more. We will look at stream and river discharge and the science of measuring and modeling it. This starts with precipitation.

Kevin is a supervisor at the Chicago Regional Office, Division of Dam Safety and Inspections, with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
