Flood Maps: potential effects of rising sea-level & intense rainfall, at a glance

AdaptWest uses spatial datasets to give a visual impression of how future climate variations will affect the Western Adelaide Region’s exposure and vulnerability to inundation by rising sea levels and increasingly intense rain events. Relative vulnerability, in terms of demographics and key infrastructure, impacted at different intensities depending on location, are depicted in maps that identify ‘hot-spots’ of vulnerability.
