SUMMARY:2025 Water Wonks Hour Lecture Series #7: 2D Modeling for Flood Risk Planning of San Antonio’s Westside Creeks.
DESCRIPTION:The Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance is pleased to introduce our 2025 Water Wonks Lecture Series. Mark your calendars for 3:30 p.m. on the 4th Wednesday of each month. Water Wonks will feature a host of experts sharing innovative ideas and details about their work in the world of water.  The series is a free community education opportunity.\nPlease sign up using the form below to express your intention to attend this lecture.  Meeting details will be sent to your email as soon as you sign up.\n																														\nLecture #7: 2D Modeling for Flood Risk Planning of San Antonio’s Westside Creeks.\nSpeaker:  Daniel Perry Ecogloical Engineer – San Antonio River Authority.\nREGISTRATION WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER 25TH, 2025\nBio:\nDaniel Perry is a Water Resources Civil Engineer with over seven years of experience helping communities understand and manage flood risk. A licensed Professional Engineer and Certified Floodplain Manager, Daniel specializes in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling to assess how water moves through rivers, creeks, and urban areas. His work has supported flood risk planning and mitigation efforts throughout the San Antonio River Basin and South Texas. Daniel holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and a Master’s in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he developed a strong foundation in water resources engineering. He is committed to collaboration and stewardship, working closely with teams and stakeholders to share knowledge and develop practical solutions for resilient water management.\nSynopsis:\nThis presentation focuses on enhancing flood risk management for San Antonio’s Westside Creeks, including Apache, San Pedro, Martinez, and Alazan Creeks. It explores the critical role of floodplains in managing flood risks and discusses FEMA’s role in regulating floodplain boundaries and development.\nThe presentation addresses various types of flooding, such as overland flooding (rainwater runoff) and creek flooding, and how these factors combine to affect flood risk in urban areas. It introduces the concept of a watershed approach to better understand the behavior of floodwaters across an entire region.\nA key focus is on modern modeling techniques used to assess flood risks, highlighting the benefits of advanced models that offer a more complete picture of flood hazards beyond traditional floodplain boundaries. The presentation also covers flood mitigation strategies, including green stormwater infrastructure, which can reduce flooding and increase resilience in sensitive areas outside the floodplain.\nBy leveraging historical data, future weather predictions, and cutting-edge technology, this project provides valuable insights for informed decision-making, better planning, and improved long-term flood resilience for the Westside Creeks area.\nStay tuned for additional monthly lecture topics coming in 2025!\n					\n									WATER WONKS HOUR SERIES\n					\n
