Our Nature Conservancy-Dallas Flooding-Climate Change study was picked up by AgriLife Today!

Urban ‘green’ infrastructure can bolster flood resilience - AgriLife Today Texas A&M AgriLife engineers develop a method for showing where green stormwater infrastructure can alleviate flooding in cities.

“With changing rainfall patterns, it is crucial that cities across the U.S. evaluate the capacity of their drainage networks to handle current and future rainfall events and address shortcomings using resilient, nature-based solutions such as green stormwater infrastructure,” explains Dr. Fouad Jaber

New Research: Green Stormwater Infrastructure Can Improve Flood Resilience in Dallas In a new study, The Nature Conservancy and Texas A&M AgriLife highlight the value of nature for urban flood management.
