Excerpt from Water-Wise Whately
Student project by B Ervin ’23, Sara Smmo Ozawa ’23, and Tyson Neukirch ’23
Prepared for the Whately Climate Resilience Planning Committee
Water-Wise Whately: A Watershed-Scale Climate Resilience Plan was developed as the oscillation between extreme precipitation and drought in recent years has begun to palpably affect the town of Whately and its stakeholders. While specifically addressing the expressed interest in ecological effects by the Whately Climate Resilience Plan Committee, this plan also considers the possible social factors that may affect Whately in the future, and the interconnected implications that lie at the confluence of climate change and development for the human and nonhuman communities of Whately, its watersheds, and beyond.
