While world leaders are talking climate in Durban, you can use the Water Supply Stress Index to project what climate change might look like in your own backyard. This Eastern Forest Threat Assessment Center tool allows users to enter variables like temperature, precipitation, land cover, and water use in order to simulate future water and carbon sequestration. Although the site warns that the projections are no crystal ball, the tool can help planners, researchers, and anyone else get a clearer view of climate change in their neighborhood.
