Service Description: The rising and spreading of water over normally dry land is referred to as inundation. Scientists from Delaware Coastal Programs used a simple model to develop maps to show the possible impacts of inundation based on various Sea Level Rise scenarios for Delaware’s waterways and the land that surrounds them (watersheds). These maps reflect the filling of these watersheds at constant elevations also referred to as "Bath Tub" modeling. In other words, the maps show the water levels rising in the watersheds similar to the “filling of a bathtub”.

Title: Sea Level Rise
Author:
Comments: The rising and spreading of water over normally dry land is referred to as inundation. Scientists from Delaware Coastal Programs used a simple model to develop maps to show the possible impacts of inundation based on various Sea Level Rise scenarios for Delaware’s waterways and the land that surrounds them (watersheds). These maps reflect the filling of these watersheds at constant elevations also referred to as "Bath Tub" modeling. In other words, the maps show the water levels rising in the watersheds similar to the “filling of a bathtub”.
Subject: There are various uses for these maps including:
Assessing and planning land use and zoning ordinances to protect community resources while guiding new development
Developing emergency management plans to prepare for natural disasters like nor’easters or tropical storms
Determining impacts to the economy such as changes to the business and tourism sectors
Conserving wildlife, wetlands, beaches, and other natural resources
Protecting recreational areas like fishing spots, boating areas, parks, and cultural heritage locations
Developing future plans for infrastructure like roads, fire departments, schools, sewer systems, drinking water, etc
Managing agriculture practices to conserve working farm lands and protect irrigation sources
Planning for coastal community resiliency by determining hazards and vulnerabilities
