Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA has awarded several New Hampshire and other researchers funding to investigate the adequacy of stormwater infrastructure in the fifty square mile watershed.The Sunapee area, like many regions in New Hampshire has experienced more frequent and more intense storm activity in the last 10 or more years. Combined with more development on the land, these storms have caused significant public infrastructure damage including road, bridge and culvert washouts.
