Florida Atlantic University's Center for Environmental Studies posted a report entitled: Southeast Florida's Resilient Water Resources: Adaptation to the Effects of Sea Level Rise and other Climate Change Impacts, which I co-authored with Fred Bloetscher, Dan Meeroff, and Jim Murley. The report concludes that sea level rise of as little as 3 to 9 inches within the next 10 to 30 years in Southeast Florida could contribute to significant saltwater intrusion, reduced availability of fresh water supplies and increased risk of flooding during heavy rainstorms. It presents an planning framework for improving the resilience of Southeast Florida's water supply infrastructure and flood control systems.
