Foreseeable Third-Party Harm from Hydraulic Capacity Increase State
Class

http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ForeseeableThird-PartyHarmfromHydraulicCapacityIncreaseState
Definition
State in which a proposed engineering design — specifically an increase in hydraulic capacity of a tidal or fluvial crossing — is identified by the responsible engineer as likely to accelerate or exacerbate flood damage to upstream or downstream third-party properties under projected future conditions (including sea level rise and intensified storm events), where the harm is foreseeable based on professional hydraulic evaluation but has not yet been confirmed through specialized analysis, and where the affected third parties are identifiable residential property owners who have not been informed of the risk.

Source Evidence
Source Text
It is Engineer A's judgment, based on hydraulic evaluation procedures presented at a recent transportation agency conference, that the proposed project may result in some upstream homes becoming uninhabitable a decade or more earlier than would otherwise be the case.
