In the last 10 years, more of Waubay, South Dakota, has ended up underwater as Bitter Lake expands into the community. A class at South Dakota State University looked at the vacant, flooded lots and saw an opportunity.
The class created a guide for Waubay on how to build flood-resilient landscapes that benefit the land and the people living near it.
Jeremiah Bergstrom is a lecturer of landscape architecture in South Dakota State University's School of Design.
He's joined by former students Shelbie Smith and Emma Martin to talk about their contributions to the project and how they approached crafting the guide.
