WS-10: Integrate surface and groundwater impacts in planning
Integrate combined surface and groundwater impacts into the evaluation of at-risk infrastructure and the prioritization of adaptation improvements.

Continue to utilize a combination of inundation maps and stormwater models to identify areas and infrastructure at increased risk of flooding.
Evaluate the potential impacts of changes in groundwater levels on wastewater and stormwater systems (including septic systems, wastewater collection, and conveyance and storage systems), with consideration of water quantity and quality (including public health-related metrics).
Use the results of the above-stated analyses as the basis for site planning and regulation, and for identifying and prioritizing adaptation needs and strategies.
