Hello All,
I am a newbie to this forum and as my welcome aboard email suggested I will
introduce myself. Maybe some of you could respond in kind as I haven't a clue
who any of you guys are?
I am a student hydrologist with the USGS (US Geological Survey). While my
scholastic focus is in wetland issues, my current duties are primarily
streamgaging of urban and rural streams. I am currently based on the
floodplains of the West Tennessee area and as you all can imagine stormwater
issues are contentious at best. Especially in the Memphis area. Building on
the floodplains and destruction of the surrounding wetlands have seemed to
exacerbate our urban flooding problems.
I am a firm believer that one cannot differentiate the natural world from
the man-made world without some form of repercussion. (For every action there
is an equal and opposite reaction). That is not to say that all we do is wrong,
just at times does not work out as anticipated.
I am a graduate student at the University of Memphis. A mother of 3.
Work full time. Raise tropical plants, lizards, and fish. And cultivating a
small wetland garden, AKA "The Swamp".
Thank you for allowing me to join your forum. I hope to learn a lot from
this group.

yours,
Tanya Scheff
