When The Waters Rise (Part 1) - Preparing for the big flood in BC's Lower Mainland

Ғылым және технология

When the Waters Rise is a two-part video series from 2020 that offers an overview of Fraser River and coastal flood hazards in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland, the expected impacts of a large-scale flood in the region, and opportunities for flood risk reduction:
Part 1: Preparing for the big flood in BC’s Lower Mainland
Part 2; Priorities and choices in BC’s Lower Mainland
The focus of the videos is large-scale Fraser River and coastal floods, which are the floods most likely to have widespread impacts across the Lower Mainland. Other types of flood, however, can also be serious. These include periods of heavy, sustained rainfall, such as the atmospheric rivers that resulted in the Nooksack River flooding of Sumas Prairie in November 2021,
Work continues in 2022 on a Lower Mainland Flood Management Strategy (LMFMS), with participation of governments and other organizations with flood management responsibilities or interests in the region. Participants provided input on a preliminary working draft (Draft 1) in 2021. However, more work is ahead to strengthen the initiative, ensure the full participation of First Nations and determine common strategic directions.
Some communities in the region are also working on local priorities for flood risk reduction. Check with your local government or other local authority for information on local flood plans, flood works and flood risk reduction in your community.

    Well, someone was talking about it, they had been for years. There was a cross border committee that had been created a couple decades ago to look into the options to prevent flooding in BC and in Washington. In 2012, that committee in name still existed, but they no longer held meeting/discussions. All their years of findings and recommendations were never acted upon. So there's a lot of talk, but definitely no action. Maybe now, politicians will start to take things more seriously.

    Ya i would say for any future rebuilding, take into account the land will flood again and build accordingly. In earthquake zones they build houses for withstanding them so make houses higher for floods (no basements?) Not sure the best plans but a new system needs to be built for the future and getting advice from there would be a great start.

    Ely Cathedral 1083 sits on the Isle of Ely. Now it is high ground and can be seen for miles. Same with Lincoln Cathedral. The Romans started draining the land. The Dutch drained the ‘fens’ around Cambridge England around C17 and the Victorian English put in steam pumps and finished the job. It will flood once in a while, but driving along with a canal 10m above and fields 2m below on the other side of a dead straight road is amazing! People die here from driving into the rivers, which are lower than the fields mostly. It’s massive engineering, needs maintenance and is very fertile land. As in all countries such land is great farmland. We don’t need the Dutch. We need to pay BC engineers to work on it, like the wonderful lady in the video.

    @@bananian - What needs to happen even more, is for Washington State to build a new channel from the Nooksack River down to the Pacific Ocean, with a huge dam at the Southern end of the channel, so when water levels get high, the massive dam can be opened up and the excess water can flow right into the ocean, instead of flowing north, in the channels between the mountain valleys that slope north to Sumas Prairie. This would be an enormous undertaking and come at a great cost. For that reason, I don't see a necessary, international solution being reached. Local, provincial and federal taxpayers in Canada already have way more than enough infrastructure that needs to be paid for on our side, so having Washington request that Canada foot the bill on their side of the border (like we did for the new Detroit/Windsor Bridge) is not reasonable, but I think Washington would demand we pay for it anyway with the threat of doing little or nothing at all if we don't.

    What did they grow there before the lake reappeared? I think it's past time to encourage people to at least grow their own vegetables at home. We turned our pantry into an indoor, year-round greenhouse using inexpensive LED lighting. Lettuces, spinach, kale, collard greens, green onions, parsley, cilantro, basil, and cherry tomatoes. No need to drain an entire lake, either.

    The entire area IS a delta!!!! To expect anything less than a flood every winter / spring should be insane!!! Deltas flood, they ARE a flood plain that is what they do because they are below sea level and winter water always rises in a temperate rain forest. Fairy lake in the Port renfrew area is also on a delta, tidal fed rivers contribute to the water levels, we have measured 126 feet from summer ground level, completely engulfing fairy lake under water. Now I am sorry you build your house on a flood plain, but I don't believe insurance should cover this kind of stupidity...as this was bound to happen sooner or later

    They had to have 3 pumping stations that pump out water 24/7-365 days a year....the stations are over 60 years old and had been failing in the 80's and 90's. The government offered every family $$$ to relocate, either used to buy a new house, or jack up the one you have znd move it...3 of my neighbors moved as did my husband and I. Anyone that stayed was told IF and WHEN the pumping stations fail, this entire area WILL BE UNDER WATER, and there will be no compensation - also nullifies their insurance as this was no act of God
