DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: 

• Water’s Edge was authorized by Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) to provide technical and engineering services for first ever floodplain mapping of the Pine River and several lakeshore creeks.
• Water’s Edge processed LiDAR and GIS layer data for hydraulic modeling and mapping uses.
• Water’s Edge staff collected bridge/culvert information useful for future databases for the CA and Municipality
• A hydrologic model was built for the creeks using HEC-HMS.
• A 1D HEC-RAS model was produced to determine the water surface elevations for the various design storms.
• Floodplain maps were then produced using the HEC-RAS results according to Provincial and Federal standards.

SERVICES PROVIDED:  HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS Modeling for Floodplain Mapping

DATE OF PROJECT:  Spring 2023-2024 (Models and Reports Completed in February 2024; Public Consultation ongoing).
