As part of the River Camac Flood Alleviation Scheme, AECOM Consulting Engineers are seeking historical records of flooding in the vicinity of the River Camac.

Any records such as, photographs and videos of flooding you may have would aid us in our efforts to re-create a digital model of the River Camac catchment.

To allow us to relate these to a specific storm event, the pictures and/or videos that have a time & date stamp are of particular importance. We would also be very grateful if respondents could confirm the approximate location featured in each photo.

If you are in possession of such records, we would greatly appreciate if you would share them with us via our project email address - camacfas@aecom.com.

Thank you in advance for sharing such information with us.
