Description
The study conducts a review of the North Saskatchewan, Beaver, and Battle River basins to identify areas where infrastructure has been constructed within flood hazard areas. The focus is on groupings of infrastructure that in the event of a major flood would require support from one or more levels of government for relief. When a significant amount of infrastructure was identified as being at risk, conceptual level mitigation measures are explored. Being a high-level study, the recommended mitigation measures are concepts that would require further study, including a cost/benefit analysis and detailed design, before they could be considered for construction.
