The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA), in collaboration with the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, is advancing a science-based initiative focused on improving our understanding of the Four Mile Creek watershed and supporting informed decision-making related to flooding, erosion, water quality, watershed function, and future land-use considerations under changing climate conditions.
The Four Mile Creek watershed drains a large landscape extending from the City of Niagara Falls in its headwaters through the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake before it outlets to Lake Ontario. The watershed area primarily consists of agriculture and two urban areas in St. David’s and Virgil.
This multi-year initiative includes several interconnected projects and activities designed to better understand watershed conditions and inform future actions to address flooding and erosion risks, including:
- Enhanced surface water quality monitoring
- Watershed background characterization studies
- Geomorphic assessments
- Updated floodplain mapping
Community input and local knowledge are important components of this initiative, and residents are encouraged to participate throughout the process.
