Aecom Water’s CEO Beverley Stinson said: “Aecom is at the forefront of climate change adaptation and has successfully implemented stormwater cloudburst strategies and designs to mitigate localised and widespread flooding in some of the nation’s most challenging environments.

“We’re honoured to help the City of New York implement an array of resilient practices to bring wide-ranging environmental benefits to its many diverse communities.”

Cloudburst management typically encompasses the design and deployment of several integrated elements for absorbing, storing, and shifting stormwater in a particular geographical location or neighbourhood.
