Florida Climate

How can Florida canals affect wetlands even if annual rainfall stays constant?

• They eliminate the need for groundwater
• They always increase rainfall over every basin
• They can redirect flows and interrupt hydrologic connections
• They permanently stop evaporation worldwide

Which hurricane risk model distinguishes relevant physical pathways?

• Separate wind, rainfall flooding and storm-surge exposures
• Use one undifferentiated hazard score for all mechanisms
• Treat storm surge as another name for wind speed
• Exclude inland flood hazards
