The Trump administration is stripping protections for streams that run only after rain, and for wetlands that don't join bigger waterways above-ground. A biology professor says these rollbacks ignore basic science about how water connects underground.
Those rollbacks could mean less work for folks like Adam Davis, the managing partner at Ecosystem Investment Partners.The country's lost more than half of its wetlands.

Davis' company operates"mitigation banks" to help them do that.
