F-110 Huffman Area Drainage Analysis

THIS IS A MULTI-WATERSHED PROJECT THAT INVOLVES LUCE AND CEDAR BAYOUS AND THE SAN JACINTO WATERSHEDS

Project Description

This project consists of an engineering investigation into the sources of flooding in and around the Huffman area and will identify preliminary options to reduce flooding. Preliminary recommendations will be generated based on the analysis.

Luce Bayou (S100-00-00) and several tributaries are being analyzed to obtain an understanding of flooding inundation and risks
East Fork San Jacinto (G103-00-00) is being evaluated to estimate the volume of sediment in the channel by comparing the 2001 data to 2018 available digital terrain data
Cedar Bayou (Q100-00-00) and its tributaries were recently studied by HCFCD, and the information within this drainage analysis area will be incorporated into the current project analysis

PROJECT LIFECYCLE

Every flood damage reduction project is unique. Yet each project begins and ends, with common and predictable milestones along the way. Whether a project moves forward – and how quickly – depends on many factors, including the availability of funding at each milestone, shifting community priorities for flood damage reduction, and other changing circumstances (such as the price of trees or concrete) from year to year.
