Check out Sunny Day Flooding Project’s newest publication: “Data From the Drain: A Sensor Framework That Captures Multiple Drivers of Chronic Coastal Floods“.
Key Points from the paper:
- We present a new low-cost, open-source sensor framework that measures coastal flooding from multiple sources
- For a 5 month deployment, 25% of floods were driven by land-based sources, contributions not present in tide gauge water levels
- Measures of flood frequency that rely only on tide gauges are likely underestimates where stormwater networks are routinely impaired
