Kingston, NY, April 4, 2025 - In this webinar — "Translating Rainfall Intensity and Duration to Streamflow: Helping Communities Assess Risk and Design for the Future" — the SLR Team provide an overview of overview flood risk terminology (e.g. recurrence intervals) and how to determine streamflow and rainfall for a given location. They then walk us through a four-step approach to estimate a range of potential future peak discharges and evaluate flood risk at specific locations in the Catskills Region of Ulster and Greene Counties, New York, and how the results were used to evaluate future flood risk under a range of time scales and emissions pathways, and reflect the uncertainty associated with these projections.
