Abstract:Midlothian, Ill., has experienced flooding since it was first incorporated in 1927, but the scope and severity of the occurrences have increased alarmingly in recent years. Unrestricted development, deferred infrastructure maintenance, and changes in regional climate have converged in Midlothian, leaving residents vulnerable to flooding across the village.
