

Upper Thames River Conservation
Authority (URTCA)
Results:


City of London owns dykes’ structure
and undertakes minor maintenance
UTRCA undertakes major maintenance
Purpose of Dyke


Thames River susceptible to serious
flooding
Number of major flood control projects:



Three dams (Fanshawe, Wildwood, Pittock)
Many dykes
Projects built to:


Reduce risk of loss of life
Reduce risk of property damage
July 2000 Flood, Fanshawe Dam
Purpose

Flood management structures
protect:


More than 1000 homes from flooding
However… the West London Dyke
is damaged and needs
replacement
Damage to Dyke

“It was concluded that a significant
