Context

2069823 — 2024-10-08 15:24:53 UTC

Who: Urban residents in Colorado cities

What: Flooding from increased rainfall and runoff with lack of absorption by pavement

When: Present day and in last decade where urbanization has increased along with flooding from increased extreme weather patterns

Where: Colorado cities/ urban centers

Purpose/ Value

2069823 — 2024-10-08 15:25:34 UTC

This is important because with the increase in impervious surfaces being used in urban construction, there has also been increased runoff which contributes to flooding in periods of heavy rainfall and potential flood damage to urban infrastructure.

People in urban centers will care because if the urban parks are able to absorb and control some storm water runoff, then there will be less likely hood of flooding of city centers and public areas.

Watersheds

How might climate-adaptive vegetation be used in the area surrounding urban watersheds to decrease urban runoff and resulting pollution of Colorado waterways??
