Abstract:With a focus on a specific flood-prone community in Camden, NJ, this research utilizes a detailed hydraulic and hydrologic (H&H) model to assesses the impacts of climate change on Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) and localized flooding under two different infrastructure scenarios. In the US, the Clean Water Act compels regulated utilities to develop Long-Term Control Plans to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs), but there is no parallel mandate to simultaneously reduce flooding within the associated serv… Show more
