Rethinking flood protection

Wetlands

Some questions/challenged posed by the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority

- What should be the design objective for projects that provide flood protection during a period of extreme variability resulting from climate change (i.e., does the 100-year standard still make sense?)?
- How can flood protection be paired with groundwater recharge in regions with a terrain and urban development like that around Stanford University
- How should we best design shoreline marsh habitats to survive as seas rise over the next 50 years?
