The rising sea levels are expected to have an impact on local rivers.

One of Bucks County’s most important rivers may soon see its shores affected by the climate and other factors. Samantha Maldonado wrote about the river for The City.

Experts are now predicting that rising sea levels will have a major impact on local bodies of water, with the nearby Delaware River being one of them.

“The likelihood of both of those two things happening over the next three years is quite, quite low,” said Rohit Aggarwala, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner and Chief Climate Officer.

“The likelihood over the next 20 years, over the next 40 years, over the next 100 years is getting to a place where I think you have to take it seriously.”
