Other risks could be compounded by climate change, with projections of more heavy downpours in a warming climate increasing the odds of the city's vital Catskills reservoirs being muddied more frequently — a condition that could require the construction of billions of dollars in filtration equipment that the city had avoided through environmental cleanups around the watersheds feeding into the system.
