Delaware - New Castle County Sea Level Rise Collection 2018 - New Castle County

The rising and spreading of water over normally dry land is referred to as inundation. Scientists from Delaware Coastal Programs used a simple model to develop maps to show the possible impacts of inundation based on various Sea Level Rise scenarios for Delaware’s waterways and the land that surrounds them (watersheds). These maps reflect the filling of these watersheds at constant elevations also referred to as "Bath Tub" modeling. In other words, the maps show the water levels rising in the watersheds similar to the “filling of a bathtub”.

The scenarios available in this dataset display sea level rise at the following heights: 0.5 meters , 1 meter & 1.5 meters
