The study's desired outcome was to determine the regional approach for the responsible management of Carrot Creek to ensure long term viability for the drainage and stormwater management needs of the sub-region while also ensuring the ecological integrity of the creek. As part of this study, the project team completed geomorphic assessments of Carrot Creek and hydraulic modelling to develop recommendations that will support the sustainability of Carrot Creek. One of the end results was a list of recommendations for erosion protection improvements which were then packaged to form the basis of the proposed Carrot Creek Erosion and Sediment Control Project.
Some of the notable hazards observed during the geomorphic asse...
