Bay of Bengal Faces Increased Storm-Tide Risk to Infrastructure
• The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) Delta is projected to experience decreased long-term flood levels in some areas.
• The east coast of India, including the Madras Atomic Power Station and Kovvada Atomic Power Project, is projected to see an increase in storm-tide levels.
• Hydrodynamic simulations using the ADCIRC model and synthetic tropical cyclone data from the STORM dataset were used to generate these projections.
Storm-tide risk shifting across Bay of Bengal
Recent projections indicate a shifting landscape of storm-tide risk across the Bay of Bengal, with significant implications for critical infrastructure.
