Climate adaptation and resiliency plan

About this project

Client
South Washington Watershed District
Location
Woodbury
Completion date
2017

The South Washington Watershed District worked with Barr to develop a plan to improve the climate resiliency of the district and its member communities. Barr developed and facilitated a two-day planning workshop with policymakers and stakeholders from across the watershed. During the workshop, participants identified climate hazards and risks to their communities and developed high-level prioritized strategies to respond to those risks. Using the workshop feedback, Barr developed recommendations to address increased climate-change risk to the groundwater, natural resources, and storm-sewer infrastructure in the district. We also investigated climate-change risks to 25,000 storm-sewer pipes in the district by assessing the likelihood and potential consequences of pipe failure
