Effects Of Climate Change On Development, Infrastructure, Water Resources Management And Business Opportunities

Changes in climate and weather are occurring. In addition to the potential for sea level rise over decades, there appears to be evidence that storms will be increasing in number and in frequency. This manual will look at the ramifications of stronger and more intense storms, higher humidity and higher sea level existing, and future urban infrastructure, including water resources, as well as water treatment. Future issues for developers and planners working with low-lying flood zones will be evaluated. The manual will go over the legal issues associated with water resources and how climate change might affect those concerns. The interaction of groundwater and surface water will be examined. Experts will discuss a future California in which both agriculture and development can thrive in an era of unpredictable weather.
