September 15th, 2021 - Site Visit

The team's initial visit to the site provided a first hand understanding of the geometry for how the water flows through the properties. Various measurements were taken and recorded in order to start the process of developing the models in Streamstats to predict how 50 and 100 year rain events would impact the area. The team also observed how various pieces of key flood control methods, including the weir on one golf course and the pedestrian bridge where the water lows under through its watershed path, were damaged by long term exposure to repeated rain events. Various pieces of greenery around the area as well as left over sediment being strongly visible on the streets led the team to conclude that the initial suspicion proved correct; the area has a significant flooding issue.
