New data from the nonprofit First Street Foundation finds that climate change is fueling more devastating rains and flooding in parts of the country.
, Congress set aside hundreds of billions of dollars to fund historic upgrades to the nation’s drinking water systems, bridges, rail systems, interstates, ports and other key infrastructure.
“For decades, that probably worked fairly well,” Berginnis said of relying on historical data alone. But, he added, “over the last couple decades, that has changed pretty significantly.” “Every year we are spending millions and billions of dollars on infrastructure, and we are doing it only looking to the past for guidance, and not looking into the future,” Kunkel said.
The agency’s methodology “undergoes a rigorous peer review process and employs broad stakeholder engagement” to ensure accuracy, transparency and trust, it said. The answers matter. In the case of a city expanding a storm-water system, underestimating how often heavy downpours might occur could mean pipes won’t drain fast enough to prevent flooding on streets or in homes. A new road could flood more often than expected, shortening its useful life.wildfires
