Challenge
During past hurricanes, two wastewater treatment plants in Jackson County, Mississippi, flooded, causing millions of dollars in damages. When planning for a new wastewater management facility, officials needed to know where to build it so it wouldn’t happen again.
Solution
Using the Digital Coast’s Sea Level Rise Viewer, the planning team was able to locate an area that would remain safe from floodwaters through the year 2070. Building at the new location will potentially save millions in flood damage.
