Art shines a light on urban flooding in Philadelphia » Yale Climate Connections

In Philadelphia, the Wingohocking Creek used to flow through Germantown, but now it’s paved over as a sewer. Maura Jarvis of the U.S. Water Alliance explains that during heavy rain, the system gets overwhelmed, causing flooding in streets and basements. Climate change exacerbates the issue. The Waterway Arts Initiative educates residents about the problem through exhibits and art installations at The Water Shed. This helps residents understand and engage with solutions as the city works to address urban flooding.
