Accounting for Climate Change in Post-Construction Stormwater Standards
Figure 1. Typology of Stormwater Design Adaptations to Climate Change Stormwater management systems have historically been designed based on the assumption that climate is stable. The unprecedented rate of change in global climate patterns therefore has important implications for stormwater managers; yet, incorporating climate information into stormwater management has been a challenge for many communities. This study’s objective was to review the existing state post-construction stormwater standards to provide a clearer understanding of the current stormwater management approaches to climate resiliency. To achieve this objective, CWP first reviewed the technical literature to identify: 1) vulnerabilities posed by [...]
