Introduction

Welcome to the Water Management in New Orleans public wiki which ! This website is intended to provide information about (Groundground)water management for New Orleans project to 'Reshape the Urban Delta'. This project is , made possible by funds from National Disaster Resilience Competition (NDRC), aims to deliver groundwater and subsurface insights and data which will to help the planning of initiatives that increase flood resilience and can be used in the design of the same initiatives.

This public wiki serves does not contain much in-depth information, but rather functions as a guide to publicly available documents /results and applications to improve the resilience to urban flooding. The wiki is build up of various chapters which coincide with the 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)
