MIAMI â Miami has to spend at least $3.8 billion in the next 40 years to keep the city dry from rising seas, according to a draft of the cityâs long-awaited and newly released stormwater master plan.
That will buy a hundred new mega stormwater pumps, miles of 6-foot tall sea walls, thousands of injection wells and a network of underground pipes so big and wide even the tallest NBA player could stroll through them without bumping his head.
