Abstract

The overall objective of this study is to provide an improved understanding of flood risks (flood extents, depths and velocities) and preparation of flood inundation maps in the lower Keep River and Border Creek floodplain under different design flood events of various annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs) or average reoccurrence intervals (ARIs) and probable maximum flood (PMF) event by carrying out a detailed flood study and developing a numerical hydraulic model of the study area. The outcomes from this study are provided to inform the overarching Assessment of Feasibility of Irrigated Agriculture on the Keep River Plains, particularly focusing on the issue of potential flood risks in the river reaches within the project command area.,
