Scope of Work 40km on the Jerez highway from Zacatecas It is on the banks of a river that periodically floods due to rain in the nearby mountains.   Flood waters can be as deep as 2.5 meters.  

Zona de Afectación

Possible Solutions Create drainage basins to hold extra water. Allows water to go to somewhere without flooding the city Can be used as a park when not full of water Create additional reaches of the river to divert water. Allows water to reconnect downstream of the city Move the City Excavate the river Build retaining walls

Programs we are planning on using WMS HEC-HMS To get runoff data Q for the river Need DEM, land use, soil type HEC-RAS To find depth of river with possible solutions River Cross sections Including the bridge/culvert cross sections
