If climate change means more extreme rainfall, as scientists predict, how should we prepare to cope with all the extra water? Should we be installing larger storm water pipes? Diverting streams? Stockpiling sandbags? Chris Jensen (pictured above), a master’s student in geography at the University of Victoria, thinks there’s a better way. He’s investigating how to manage rainwater where it falls - on individual buildings, streets, gardens and subdivisions - rather than directing it into storm water systems buried under city streets.
