Rising Waters: Flooding on the Connecticut River

There have always been floods. However, with increased human activity in flood plains, the impact of the floods on people had increased. This exhibit will explore several devastating floods of the 20th century and pose questions about what we should expect in the future. What are the effects of climate change on potential future floods? And, what are we doing to protect our riparian communities and our environment before the next 100 year flood?
