Floods are becoming increasingly common and severe in Harris County, Texas, as there is less permeable land cover in the Houston metropolitan area to absorb flooding impacts. This project identifies areas where reinstating native wetlands in Harris County would be feasible in order to partially absorb flooding. Through a suitability analysis, the project located areas of prime wetland implementation. Subsequently, it presents scenario maps that test wetland absorption performance during a 500-year storm event.
