In this powerful conclusion to our three-part series, host Suzan Chin-Taylor of The DooDoo Diva’s Smells Like Money Podcast sits down once again with Dr. Heather Fenyk, Rutgers University lecturer and President of the Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership, to explore how environmental justice, data-driven science, and green infrastructure can transform the way we manage water. 💧Together, they uncover why clean water should be recognized as a universal right, how upstream pollution affects downstream communities, and why collaboration across municipal and regional boundaries is critical for building sustainable, equitable water systems.Dr. Fenyk also shares real-world examples of how civic science empowers local communities, how data guides better environmental decisions, and why small, localized actions—like planting a rain garden—can make a big impact on global water health. 🌎If you care about climate resilience, clean water, and the future of sustainable infrastructure, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.🧭 In This Episode:- What environmental justice means in water management- How green infrastructure and civic science can reduce combined sewer overflows (SSOs)- The dangers of “home rule” and fragmented land-use planning- Why regional watershed collaboration is vital for equity and resilience- How communities can use data to take action and drive changeContact Information:Dr. Heather FenykFounder & Board PresidentLower Raritan Watershed PartnershipEmail: hfenyk@lowerraritanwatershed.orgWebsite: https://lowerraritanwatershed.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lowerraritanwatershed?fref=tsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowerraritanwatershed/Youtube: https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCHqeSD5CAg8YhJRGWshA5ogDon’t forget to subscribe to the Smells Like Money Podcast for more insights and innovations in the wastewater industry.
