The Mystic River Watershed (MyRWA) is the most densely populated and urbanized watershed in New England. With nearly 50% of the watershed developed and paved, heavier rain events associated with climate change mean more widespread stormwater flooding. Once filled-in tidal rivers and marshes now represent growing risks of chronic flooding.
Julie Wormser, Deputy Director, MyRWA and Erica Wood, Communications and Outreach Manager, MyRWA will discuss what MyRWA, municipalities, and neighbors are doing together — from regional collaboration to citizen science — to prepare people and places for climate change. They'll showcase ways to get involved, and answer your questions in a Q&A session.
