Six students in a Technology Clinic class spent the past two semesters working with Easton’s West Ward Neighborhood Partnership on issues concerning the management of surface water runoff. They will present their findings 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 18, in room 103 of Hugel Science Center. The presentation is open to the public.The project looks at ways to reduce and manage water runoff in a portion of the heavily paved West Ward, the adjoining escarpment, and the Lehigh River. The course, which is a continuation of a previous Tech Clinic’s efforts in the West Ward to improve the neighborhood’s urban ecology, was taught by Dan Bauer, professor of anthropology and sociology, and Lawrence Malinconico, associate professor of geology and environmental geosciences.
