This project will be critical to mitigating the issue, which is blamed on low elevations coupled with increasing sea levels and increasing frequency of storms. These areas have experienced severe flooding. “So the stormwater naturally migrates to this area, so it gives the area the stormwater storage capacity it needs for rain storms and rain events.” “The Bow Creek Golf Course (closure) worked out perfectly because it’s pretty much in the center of the area and it is one of the lower points in the area,” Martinec said.
