I want fast trains so I can go visit Grandma

(she’s a sweet old lady and I’d like to visit more often without killing the planet, my wallet, or a pedestrian)

      Sure. If I remember correctly in Belgium in the 90s (or early 00) they reconnected the schelde and the leie, two rivers that used to be connected but were separated. The intend was to increase the debit that was missing from de schelde. This had a result of more oxygen in the water, increasing fish population and plant growth. 10 years after there were seals (and at some point even a dolphin) spotted in Ghent.
