Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Building in a floodplain

[John Faust (wjfaust]

It is probably good advice to plan on higher-than-normal probabilities of
floods, particularly if you live in a "wet" region. Even beyond the comfort
of having a greater margin for error, most all global warming models
indicate wet regions are expected to get wetter and dry regions are expected
to get drier. The implication is increased flooding in regions where they
get a lot of water and increased droughts where they don't get much.
