Summary
The objective of this Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) project is to support research on how combinations of flood and stormwater infrastructure perform as a system under realistic storm conditions. Flooding causes more economic damage than any other US natural hazard. Communities invest in stormwater drainage, detention basins, and river modifications, but these projects are typically designed one at a time using simplified design storms that do not capture how risks to homes, roads, and critical services vary from storm to storm, or how infrastructure interactions redistribu
