Abstract
The town of Wallaceburg, Ontario, Canada, located on the Sydenham River near its delta at Lake St. Clair, has a long history of serious flooding due primarily to spring runoff and ice jams. In order to alleviate this flooding, the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority has just completed the construction of a flood control dam and floodway. The scheme which is illustrated in Fig. 1 consists of:
-
(a)
a nine kilometre floodway with a grass-lined trapezoidal shape, 3H:1V side slopes and a 70 m bottom width;
-
(b)
a trapezoidal drop-structure with a trapezoidal stilling basin to regulate velocities in the floodway and control erosion;
-
(c)
a 12 m high earthfilled dam; and
-
(d)
a concrete control structure with low level sluiceways.
