Climate change isn’t coming, it’s here. Precipitation during heavy rain events increased by 55% between 1958 and 2016 in the northeastern United States. And, as our climate continues to warm, we will see even more severe storms.

What does this mean for our communities? More flooding. Just a few more inches of rainfall could increase the Charles River’s volume by millions of gallons during a heavy storm.
