s topography to determine flood elevations. This country does not have enough history for statistically significant information. The science of flooding is connected to the sciences of weather, geology, and hydraulics. Only those who are involved in these professions can give us a reasonably good answer to the connection between global warming and increased flooding. However, the fact is that warmer air globally does result in more moisture in the atmosphere. It is not a far fetched notion that this would set us up for more rainfall where cold air masses meet warm ones. The best solution - stay away from flood plains; lower greenhouse gases; and pray there's enough time.
