The goal of the research is to understand the causes and impacts of flooding in coastal Carolinas. During the 5 month study period, 25% of the flooding was driven by land-based sources, illustrating the need to address the multiple compounding sources of flooding. The Sunny Day Flooding Project presents a sensor framework, linked to a publicly accessible web app, to measure flood conditions and share the information.
