Urban Flooding, Equity, and Green Infrastructure: Syracuse as Case Study

The USL has continued to leverage the suite of tools offered by ESRI’s ArcGIS program, including Stormaps or narrative driven web projects that integrate data and storytelling. For the Kresge support Environmental Justice of Urban Flood Risk project, the team developed a new storymap “Urban Flooding, Equity, and Green Infrastructure: Syracuse as Case Study”. The storymap explores the ambitious GI program that Onondaga County has successfully implemented targeting the city’s water quality problems related to the Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) caused by its Combined Sewer System.
