Today we build models of our local neighborhoods and modeled flooding! We also DIY our own clay for this project, too!
We learned that climate change is going to increase the number of floods in Michigan. Since 1950 the average annual rain and snow in Michigan has increased by 5 to 10 percent. But we learned from the EPA that the heavy rain is even worse: rainfall during the four wettest days of the year has increased about 35 percent. Severe rainstorms are increasing. This increase the risk of flooding.
