Stillwater Sciences, .
The overall goal of the levee setback modeling and assessment study presented here is to elucidate key hydraulic, geomorphic, flood risk, and ecosystem benefits and uncertainties associated with levee setback and removal along the LSCR. More specifically, the main goal is to characterize the effects of a range of levee setback scenarios on: (1) flood control/risk management; (2) local, upstream, and downstream
hydrogeomorphic conditions; (3) riparian vegetation and habitat conditions; and (4) Parkway acquisition efforts.
