Increasing floodwater storage in wetlands through improved mapping and reporting and establishing a 2:1 wetland net-gain policy to reverse historic wetland loss through protection and restoration. #vtpoli #vtenviro #vtflood23

Cost benefit analysis, and multi criteria analysis to support choices being considered for flood mitigation is an important part of investment decision making.

Kelsey van der Schyff and Tamara Stratton from WSP in New Zealand presented on “Put you money where the benefit is” to the Water New Zealand 2024 Modelling Symposium. The aim is to develop a workflow for RiskScape - using a urban flood Whakatane case study - to input into cost benefit analysis. #water #modelling

Managing Storm & Surface Water with ForeSITE™-UL Monitoring System. Over recent years, municipalities and sewer management districts have been facing new challenges with regard to stormwater and surface water management. As flooding increases along coastal and river-adjacent communities, the need for low-cost, reliable monitoring and warning systems has become a critical factor for managing these issues in real time, without requiring major infrastructure overhauls. To address this need, ADS Environmental Services® has introduced the all-new ForeSITE™ FS-UL ultrasonic level system, a solution for flood-prone site monitoring.

Come see us at #3RWW next week to learn how PaveDrain can manage your stormwater to day and everyday

Maryland’s stormwater management program works to mitigate the impacts of new development and redevelopment activities through the implementation of stormwater best management practices (BMPs). Stormwater BMPs are intended to address the impacts of impervious surfaces such as rooftops, paved streets, and parking lots. These hard surfaces prevent rainwater from soaking into the ground which results in an increased volume of runoff that is funneled into storm drains and discharged into streams and rivers. Stormwater management is necessary to reduce the amount and velocity of runoff across the land and into stream channels, pollutants, and local flooding. https://buff.ly/3zm8cWb #StormWaterAwarenessWeek

Top Techniques for Flood Mitigation! Flood mitigation involves a range of techniques designed to minimize damage. Here are some effective methods: 1.Constructing levees and floodwalls. 2.Implementing proper drainage systems. 3.Restoring wetlands and natural barriers. 4.Elevating buildings and infrastructure. 5.Using permeable materials for roads and pavements. By adopting these techniques, we can significantly reduce the impact of floods. 🛠️ Does any of these techniques you prefer?

Anna Cardinal, Joshua Nemser-Sher, Emily Strand, and Megan Beaulieu have won the 2024 Kelman Award from the Central States Water Environment Association! The award honors a paper the team wrote titled “Koshkonong Creek Watershed Flood Control,” which was published in the fall 2023 issue of Central States Water Magazine. The paper details an innovative design to reduce flooding, enhance sustainability, and improve community well-being in the Koshkonong watershed through the construction of a weir, embankment, flood basin, and recreational park. By integrating flood management infrastructure with recreational facilities and environmental restoration efforts, this project pushes the boundaries of flood control design, maximizing positive impacts for both the community and the environment. #BadgerEngineers #UWMadison #CivilEngineering #EnvironmentalEngineering
