Ecological Restoration: Culverts!
Friday, 24 October, 2025

You probably cross over culverts more often than you notice. If they're working right, you shouldn't notice them at all. Culverts are an easy-to-overlook pieces of infrastructure which provide a way for water to flow under crossings (like roads, railways, and more). But if culverts are too small, then the water and wildlife they're meant to convey end up over those crossings. In today's episode we're joined again by Water Resources Engineer Jonas Procton, who talks us through the engineering that goes into improving culverts so that water, wildlife, and traffic can all go where they need to go without getting in each other's way.
