|a Southeast Florida, with a population of 5.5
million (U.S. Census, 2008) is among the
ten coastal metropolitan areas in the world
most vulnerable to climate change (Nicholls &
OECD, 2008). The region is especially susceptible
to sea level rise and expected changes in local
weather patterns. Recent reports (Karl, etal,
USCCSP, & NOAA, 2009; IARU, 2009, Vermeer
& Rahmstorf, 2009) indicate that global average
sea level may rise by approximately 2 to 5 feet or
more by 2100, with similar expectations for
Southeast Florida, an amount that will have significant
effects on its coastal areas.
Southeast Florida’s vulnerability derives
from its geographic location, low elevation,
porous geology, unusual groundwater and surface
water hydrology, subtropical weather patterns,
and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and
Gulf of Mexico. Its highly engineered water infrastructure
and flood control systems play an essential
role in assuring the region’s habitability.
Future sea level rise and other climate change impacts
are likely to influence Southeast Florida’s
water resources. |
