claim: New Jersey is losing 50 football fields of open space to development every day and the more we develop upstream the more flooding we have downstream.
evidence: It is surrounded by water on three sides, the Arthur Kill, a tidal strait to the east, and tidal rivers to the south, Raritan River, and north, Rahway River; and, much of the developed land in Woodbridge has low elevations, as little as five feet above sea level.
