The study focuses on reducing flooding along the main stem of the Brandywine Creek. It will identify areas prone to chronic flooding and develop hydrologic and hydraulic watershed models using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydrologic Engineer Center’s River Analysis System. The study will offer recommendations for both structural and nonstructural solutions to reduce flooding.
