Two Year USGS Study in the Caulks Creek Watershed
Through the efforts of the WETF, the City and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have partnered to conduct an initial two-year study of the Caulks Creek Watershed, which has now been extended for an additional three (3) months.
This unique scientific study will have these main objectives:
- Monitor bank erosion at key sites along Caulks Creek
- Assess the hydraulic response of the watershed for storm events under current and projected climate conditions and widely variable weather patterns.
- Model the hydraulics of the creek under existing development patterns, climate considerations, and changing weather conditions.
- Depict the potential development and/or mitigation of bank failure and erosion.
- Position the City for future grant opportunities
- Assess bank vegetation from historic aerial photography
This scientific study is an exciting development in the efforts of the City’s Watershed Erosion Task Force to address these important issues impacting Wildwood.
