Day-lighting dead creeks?

Post 1

As an Environmental Protection and Technology student a project was proposed by Paul Richard in my Environmental Issues class where we had to find an environmental issue and present if it is something feasible or not, and share our personal opinion on the matter.

I immediately knew what it was that I would present my project on.

Day-lighting dead bodies of water.

What is Day-lighting?
 This is when a body of water such as a stream is redirected above ground and can also be referred to as when a formally 'destroyed' body of water due to construction is converted back into how it once looked by removing pollutants and adding native plants in hopes of restoration as well as bringing back native animal species.
