In updating the Master Drainage Plan for Brookings, South Dakota, ISG faced challenges reconciling flood risk maps with community experiences. Despite a doubling of the flood-risk area, doubts arose due to discrepancies with historical records and incomplete evaluations of existing flood-reduction efforts. Using InfoWorks ICM software, ISG employed advanced modeling techniques to generate a more accurate flood map, enabling prioritization of mitigation projects. Stakeholder engagement ensured realistic modeling, leading to actionable results and strategies for water quality improvement. This approach underscores the importance of informed modeling in building resilient communities amid climate change uncertainties.

As the world grapples with the realities of climate change and rapid population growth, our traditional methods for managing stormwater have shown their limitations. The conventional focus on site-specific solutions, while essential, does not fully account for the complex, interconnected nature of urban water systems. This session will introduce a comprehensive, city-wide approach to stormwater modeling as a more adaptive and effective solution to these contemporary challenges.
