Climate Resilience and Urban Sustainability: The Need for City-Wide Stormwater Models

Share this class

Description

As the world grapples with the realities of climate change and rapid population growth, our traditional methods for managing stormwater have shown their limitations. The conventional focus on site-specific solutions, while essential, does not fully account for the complex, interconnected nature of urban water systems. This session will introduce a comprehensive, city-wide approach to stormwater modeling as a more adaptive and effective solution to these contemporary challenges.

Key Learnings

  • Gain a better understanding of the impacts that climate change and population growth have on urban water systems.
  • Learn about vulnerabilities and areas for improvement in our current stormwater management practices.
  • Learn about developing increasingly resilient, integrated, and sustainable solutions for urban water management.
