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?"

It is a subject near and dear to the hearts of residents of Arlington Height, Prospect Heights and Wheeling. Please join us as Kevin walks us through the science of flooding.

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.

Kevin will present his highly informative presentation on Hydrometeorology and Hydrology and how it affects us. Rare rain events like the 100-year storms will be examined and understood. We will look at stream and river discharge and the science of measuring and modeling it. It all 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).
