- CoSMoS Coastal Groundwater Hazards with Rising Seas Puget Sound Virtual Workshop
- Date: August 6th, 2024
- Time: 9AM PT
- Description: As sea levels rise, the shallow groundwater table in coastal communities will also rise. This slow but chronic threat can flood communities from below, damaging buried infrastructure, flooding below-grade structures, reducing storm sewer capacity, liberating pollutants, compromising foundations, and emerging above ground as an urban flood hazard that can amplify overland storm flooding. As communities develop climate adaptation plans to address sea level rise and extreme storm events, it is important to consider this additional hazard.
