Threat of Rising Sea Level & Water Tables to Texas Coastal Septic Systems: An Integrated Study

Summary

Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi will conduct a risk assessment and prediction of the vulnerability of on-site sewage facilities' functionality to climate and human-induced changes and their importance as nonpoint source pollution (NPS) from the Bolivar Peninsula to Matagorda Beach. Integration of data and models will help lead to implementation of management measures to enable better control of NPS to ensure resilient coastal systems.
