Guidance Tools for Planning and Management of Urban Drainage Systems Under a Changing Climate

Principal Investigator Lawrence Susskind

Co-investigators Anne Spirn , James Wescoat


Present and future management of urban runoff is made more complicated by the potential long-term impacts of climate change. The objective is to formulate new options that urban water managers can use to respond to the challenges of drainage management in the face of climate change. Funding comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
