SLR-02

Support and Monitor Ongoing Analysis of Sea-Level Rise Data

Implementation

  • Support and monitor ongoing collection and analysis of sea-level rise, storm surge, and tidal data by existing institutions, including, but not limited to, FEMA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.​

  • ​Support research and analysis of saltwater intrusion and degraded water quality in the Sacramento River, as well as in surrounding freshwater inlets and wells, as a result of sea-level rise.

Benefits: Gathering information on sea-level rise effects on Sacramento County (e.g., saltwater intrusion) would help the County and local water districts prepare for potentially more adverse hydrologic and water quality conditions.

​Timeframe: Ongoing​
