Flood watch continues along Fraser River
As all eyes are on the Fraser River, particularly in the eastern Fraser Valley, geography professor Jeremy Venditti is available to talk today (Friday) about the rising water levels.

Venditti is currently carrying out research in the field, near Mission, as well as experiments in his environmental fluid and sediment dynamics lab. He uses a flume channel – providing a scale model of the Fraser – to investigate flow resistance in rivers, and to learn more about potential flooding impacts.
