In a changing world, better flood modeling informs designs that stand up

How can engineers design buildings, bridges, and stormwater infrastructure to deal with the more extreme weather we’re experiencing now? With extremes predicted to increase in the future, many weather projections include a world with more periods of high rainfall that can cause watercourses to overflow their banks.

Designs created today must be built to deal with future realities. And the traditional approach to flood modeling won’t be enough.
