Floodway Simulation Project
Benefits of Floodway Expansion highlighted through Flood Simulation Project The Flood Simulation Project is designed to demonstrate the impact of a 1-in-700 year flood with the existing and expanded floodway. The new media presentation uses advanced technology to simulate various Red River flood scenarios and helps to inform the public about the benefits of the Red River Floodway Expansion project. The first phase of the flood simulation project demonstrates the impact of a 1-in-700 year flood with the existing floodway on Winnipeg versus the impact of the same flood with an expanded floodway. The simulation, based on sophisticated computer software, demonstrates that the impact of a flood of this size would result in approximately two-thirds of Winnipeg being impacted by basement and overland flooding. With an expanded floodway, the amount of flooding within Winnipeg would be dramatically reduced to potentially isolated locations along the Red River. The flood simulator was first unveiled during the Manitoba Clean Environment Commission’s public hearing process earlier this year. It was completed with the expertise and technology of the Canadian Hydraulics Centre of the National Research Council.
