Sad dawn scene: old farm shed with encroaching suburban development at the other side of the paddock. This is right on the floodplain at Bacchus Marsh. The town is not known for heavy rainfall, more the lack thereof, but floods will inevitably occur sooner or later. The houses are all built up a bit above ground level now, so the water they displace will make the damage worse at houses like mine that were built longer ago.

Halifax gets first look at 'long overdue' Sackville floodplain changes
Halifax council has got its first look at new rules proposed for the Sackville rivers floodplain that would control development along the waterways — in some areas for the first time.

My man and I went for a walk along the “Trinity Skyline Trail” earlier today, on the #floodplain of the Trinity River, just southeast of Downtown #Dallas, and of course we had to stop every few feet to take #photos. Here’s a few of them.

Three bridges seen from the river floodplain beneath them. The closest is the Ronald Kirk Foot Bridge, built from concrete, but updated with modern triangular white sunshades. Behind it is the Margaret Hunt Hill Auto Bridge, formed from a large loop of white metal which anchors a complex weave of suspension cables that hold up the road. Far beyond that is an old, rusty train bridge.

A close-up view of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, seen from below, showing the weave of suspension cables hanging down from a large white metal loop, in a pattern which, from this angle, almost seems to spiral outward from the loop.

An empty orange metal spool roughly two meters in diameter, of the type which often holds cables, partially sunk into the soggy brown grasses of a river flood plain. Behind it can bee seen a modern white suspension bridge and part of a city skyline.

A black-and-white photo showing a forrest of circular concrete columns on the underside of a bridge, holding it over a river floodplain as it enters a city beyond the river. Some columns have bits of graffiti at their bases. A security camera hangs down from the top of the bridge. The floodplain is full of soggy, grassy ground dotted with pools of standing water. The river itself is hidden by the contours of the landscape.

'Some (TopoBathy) Floodplain Images I Made A Few Years Ago, On The Mississippi R.
--
These are some (topobathy) floodplain images I made a few years ago for a specific usecase – and ‘stumbled’ across them again today, lookin’ for something else…
Every time I look at such things, the (engineering) geologist, geomorphologist, (pseudo) hydrologist, spatial data scientist in me is made happy in being reminded what access we have to (often open) spatial data and the sheer volume of it, and the use cases for which it can be leveraged.
We are lucky professionals…

Gaps in the canopy of a mixed #floodplain #forest have a direct effect on forest soil temperature and moisture, according to a study by #UniLeipzig, @idiv and @MPI_BGC, published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
