Chapter 5 - Impacts Assessment

To understand the impacts of climate change on agricultural land in the Snohomish and Stillaguamish River floodplains, the Snohomish Conservation District initiated technical studies on flooding, groundwater levels, saltwater intrusion, land subsidence and aggradation, and crop impacts. This chapter summarizes key findings of these technical studies. The full studies and online tools can be found on the Conservation District website at https://snohomishcd.org/ag-resilience.
