Flood Plain Mapping
What is a flood plain?
A flood plain is an area around a stream, river, or body of water where water will travel during a flood event. Collecting information about ground elevation, land use, rain and snow melt, culverts and bridges, and stream profiles allows us to model what a major flood event might look like and map where the flood plain exists.
How is floodplain mapping useful?
At Kawartha Conservation, we use floodplain mapping to support regulations that limit existing and new development inside the flood plain to protect your personal safety and property from flood hazards. Your home may already exist inside a flood plain. Our mapping can help you determine how much of your property is at risk and decide which hazard prevention measures to take.
