Climate Change Adaptation of Urban Stormwater Infrastructure

Climate change may have major impacts in Minnesota, but what these future impacts could be is unclear. More extreme weather events and increased precipitation could stress transportation infrastructure and system resiliency. The use, operation and maintenance of transportation services can also affect the environment. Research is needed to understand environmental effects and the impacts of climate change on transportation systems and propose designs and adaptions to address them.
