#floodplain

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Sad dawn scene: old farm shed with encroaching suburban development at the other side of the paddock. This is right on the floodplain at Bacchus Marsh. The town is not known for heavy rainfall, more the lack thereof, but floods will inevitably occur sooner or later. The houses are all built up a bit above ground level now, so the water they displace will make the damage worse at houses like mine that were built longer ago.

'Some (TopoBathy) Floodplain Images I Made A Few Years Ago, On The Mississippi R.
--
These are some (topobathy) floodplain images I made a few years ago for a specific usecase – and ‘stumbled’ across them again today, lookin’ for something else…
Every time I look at such things, the (engineering) geologist, geomorphologist, (pseudo) hydrologist, spatial data scientist in me is made happy in being reminded what access we have to (often open) spatial data and the sheer volume of it, and the use cases for which it can be leveraged.
We are lucky professionals…

Up the ladder to the roof …
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)

The trails will connect to many of the existing trails inside the parks, including to popular old-growth redwood groves.

The #tribe had already been restoring #SalmonHabitat for three years on the property, building a meandering stream channel, two connected ponds and about 20 acres of #floodplain while dismantling a defunct mill site. Crews also planted more than 50,000 #NativePlants, including grass-like slough sedge, black cottonwood and coast redwood trees.
