This wiki serves as a guide to documents/results and applications to improve the resilience to urban flooding. The wiki is build up of various chapters which coincide with the project subprojects structure which is graphically displayed in the picture below.
A first step towards making New Orleans more resilient to urban flooding is to design a monitoring network to measure water levels, precipitation, water quality and subsidence (subprojects 1 & 4). This provides information on spatial and temporal trends in groundwater flows and subsidence, which is needed to design effective measures to limit urban flooding and subsidence. The monitoring data will be stored within a database making all the collected information available for the City and the public (subproject 2). Existing knowledge and knowledge gaps on soil conditions and groundwater dynamics in New Orleans will be identified in subproject 3. A shallow subsidence vulnerability map will be produced based on geologic and groundwater information collected from shallow boreholes distributed over the entire city (subproject 5)
