Structure Construction Elements

For this first phase of implementation we constructed 5 BDAs in the high flow dry floodplain channel in anticipation of activation from the main channel structures. Two robust BDAs were built in the main channel just below the "switch". These structures were successful at activating the floodplain channel. Phase 2 of implementation is scheduled for the 2024 season.
