Floodplain Mapping

You’re invited to review updated floodplain mapping and the resulting impacts to the community due to high flood water events in the Fraser and Quesnel River. The existing floodplain mapping for the City of Quesnel was developed in 1992 and made use of peak flow data that was available at that time. An additional 25 years of data is available to update the peak flow estimates, and the impacts of climate change are also considerations. These factors are revealing different design flows than those calculated in the early nineties. Join us to review the background information and discuss the viable approaches to dealing with floodplain management issues in Quesnel.
