    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.
