Cadiz is a home rule-class city and the county seat of Trigg County, Kentucky, United States. Its population was 2,540 at the 2020 census. A historic town near Lake Barkley, Cadiz lies east of the Land Between the Lakes recreation area. Climate change is expected to increase flood risks in many places, including Cadiz, Trigg County, Kentucky. Here are some of the many factors that can contribute to this increased risk:
- Increased Rainfall: Climate change can lead to more frequent and intense rainfall events, which can overwhelm drainage systems and cause flooding.
- Rising Temperatures: Higher temperatures can change weather patterns and increase the likelihood of storms that can cause flooding.
- River and Stream Flooding: As Cadiz is near various water bodies, higher rainfall can lead to higher water levels, increasing river and stream flooding.
- Infrastructure Limitations: Older or undersized infrastructure generally cannot handle increased water flow, leading to more frequent floods.
Federal, state, and local governments, community organizations, and other stakeholders must map future floodplains, improve stormwater management systems, and develop climate adaptation strategies to address flooding risks across short, medium, and long-term horizons. For detailed flood risk assessments, consult leading resources such as ClimaTwin’s flood maps based on future weather and climate extremes.
