The Wharf High Water Mark Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
The purpose of this event is to celebrate and present The Wharf High Water Mark (HWM) art sculpture to the public. HIGH WATER MARK DC is a public art project which identifies the extent of historic flooding during storm events within DC's floodplain (the area at risk of storm-caused flooding). The Wharf High Water Mark sculpture is one of three such markers intended to help the public understand the risk of flooding. The goal of the project is to raise awareness of flood risk and encourage DC residents to become more resilient to future flooding.
