Rain brought relief to Corpus Christi. It didn't solve the problem. πŸ’¦

Just a few weeks ago, years of drought had pushed Corpus Christi's reservoirs to historic lows, raising serious concerns about the region's water supply.

Recent rainfall has helped replenish the reservoirs and delayed a projected water emergency. That's encouraging news, but a few days of rain don't erase years of drought or the need to plan for the future.

Corpus Christi isn't alone. Communities across the country have experienced drought, water shortages, and water restrictions in recent years, reminding us that clean, reliable water should never be taken for granted.

Water is one of our most essential resources. Preparing for the next drought starts long before reservoirs run low. The decisions we make today will shape how our communities respond tomorrow.

πŸ’¬ If your community faced a severe drought, what do you think should be the top priority?

🚰 Quick Question...

When was the last time you thought about where your water goes after it leaves the drain?

Most of us think about turning on the faucet, but rarely think about what happens after we wash our hands, take a shower, flush a toilet, or wash dishes.

Every day, billions of gallons of wastewater travel through a complex network of pipes, treatment facilities, and waterways before being released back into the environment.

The systems that manage our wastewater play a major role in protecting public health, local waterways, and the environment, yet many people know very little about them.

We want to hear from you.

❓️Do you think schools should teach more about how water and wastewater systems work?

Why or why not?

Share your thoughts in the comments. πŸ‘‡

Because understanding water doesn't stop at the faucet.

It's Transplant Day! 🌱

Today was a big day for the garden.

From early this morning until the evening, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work moving our yellow squash, cucumbers, sweet peppers, and pumpkins into larger pails so they can continue growing strong before making their way into the garden beds.

Along the way, we picked up soil, buckets, gloves, shovels, and a few healthy starter plants from a local garden shop right here in Queens. By the end of the day, we had 32 pails filled with fruits and vegetables, all transplanted, watered, and ready for the next stage of their journey.

One thing we're especially proud of is that we're growing everything organically, from the soil up.

It's amazing what can happen when a community comes together with a shared vision. A few months ago, these were just seeds. Today, they're thriving plants. Soon, they'll help provide fresh food, education, and a space for neighbors to connect.

Slowly but surely, we're turning an empty space into something that can nourish a community for years to come.

If you'd like to support the Nourish Ozone Community Garden and Cultural Learning Space, please make a donation. Every contribution helps us purchase supplies, expand the garden, and increase access to fresh food right here in our community.
