How Engineers Can Adapt Infrastructure Design for a Changing Climate feat. Farshid Vahedifard
Now in its fourth year of severe drought, California is juggling with knives. Groundwater levels are falling. Seawater intrusion threatens drinking water supplies. Sinking land and erosion expose structural vulnerabilities. But drought alone does not cause infrastructure failure. Factor in heavy rainfalls or an earthquake, and that precarious knife-juggling act could result in some serious…
