Spring opens the floodgates in Boston - West Roxbury, Roslindale Bulletin
April showers bring May flowers… and flood events. The West Roxbury and Roslindale Bulletin spoke with CRWA Senior Climate Resilience Associate Dira Johanif to discuss CRWA’s regional Charles River Flood Model, “This collaboration came out of CRWA’s regional Charles River Flood Model project that has been ongoing since 2021. The Flood Model is a regional framework for modeling flooding impacts and solutions in the Charles River watershed, looking past municipal boundaries as water and climate change impacts do not stop at city borders. Stormwater specifically moves downhill in a watershed, so this project takes a look at different types of solutions across the watershed based on the available space and the benefits it could provide to multiple communities,”.
