In this presentation, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) will provide an update on the results of the first stage of the FHIMP (2021-23) and the kickoff of the FHIMP expansion (2023-2028) which will see greater investments in every jurisdiction to complete flood mapping coverage. We will also highlight key scientific and technical innovations behind recent flood mapping efforts.

One such metric is the effect on the hydrologic dynamics. This research examines how seismic lines alter hydrology and soil properties, focusing on water table fluctuations, soil compaction, and snow accumulation. Measurements taken at two sites south of Fort McMurray show that seismic lines increase soil compaction, reduce water infiltration, and cause greater variability in water table levels. The effects of these changes depend on topography and the orientation of seismic lines.
