Lab Exercise 8

This map above shows what we did in our Lab 8 Exercise. Our task was to create the effects of a 100 year flood that could occur here in Eau Claire. The green area shows how far the water would spread past the regular waters edge. The red lines show what FEMA's flood map shows for a 100 year flood. The reason that they both don't match up is because when these were created the resolution of the maps were different. The green is more percisse because it was done with a map with a better resolution. The black box represents the lower campus of the university and what buildings would be affected by this flood.

This map shows what it would look like if the flood rose to 790 feet.

This image shows the flood at 800 ft.
