Details

Extreme weather results in increasing rainfall intensities that will be unprecedented. Additionally, the majority of infrastructure flood inundation cases occur at sparsely gauged locations, which adds a compounding complexity to the accuracy of flood prediction, mitigation measures, and spatial extents. TRB hosted a webinar on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern included presentations describing recent transportation project cases to estimate, mitigate, and prepare for flooding. Case studies included agencies such as NASA, Virginia Department of Transportation, District Department of Transportation, Washington D.C., City of Virginia Beach, VA, and Chesterfield County, VA.

This webinar was sponsored by the TRB Standing Technical Committees on Mechanics and Drainage of Saturated and Unsaturated Geomaterials and Hydrology, Hydraulics, and Stormwater.

The slides are available. Please contact trbwebinar@nas.edu for a link to the recording. There may be a $90 fee.
