Reducing Flooding in the Charles River Watershed

The Charles River Flood Model confirms that flooding will be considerably worse by 2070. Today, a so-called "10-year storm", which has a 10% chance of occurring in any given year, causes about 7,660 acres of flooding under current conditions. But, by 2070, due to climate change, the same storm event will flood 10,670 acres, an increase of over 3,000 acres that currently do not flood. 

Needham, Dedham, and Boston residents, please join us to provide input on opportunities to use nature-based solutions in your community to reduce flooding and protect critical infrastructure.
