Abstract:

The possible impacts of global warming on the operation and management of the Central and Southern Florida Project are examined. The potential impacts include sea level rise, tropical cyclone frequency and intensity changes, and precipitation and temperature changes. The need for flexible, robust, and implementable alternatives is desirable due to the great uncertainty associated with an issue such as global warming.
