10. Project New Orleans
Regional Groundwater monitoring and
subsidence reduction strategy
Objectives:
• Subsurface management
• Subsidence analysis, forecasting and management
• Shallow groundwater analysis and management
• Salinization risk
• Urban flooding
“The aim is to build an instrument that is supported by all relevant
stakeholders and easily accessible and understandable for
stakeholders.”
