Comprehensive stormwater planning addressing rainfall, tides and sea level rise
Virginia Beach faces recurring threats from heavy rain, hurricanes, and nor'easters. The city has expedited resilience investments for vulnerable neighborhoods, using detailed stormwater modeling to develop comprehensive flood mitigation plans addressing limited system capacity and tidal impacts.
Multiple storm calibration approach
We calibrated the models to multiple storms over a range of rainfall intensities and validated with available storm data.
