Video: The Otter Creek Floodplain and How it Responded to Tropical Storm Irene
Middlebury
A floodplain in action - how the floodwaters of Irene were slowed and tapered off by the floodplains upstream of Middlebury Vermont.
An 11-minute video with a compelling look at why Otter Creek in Rutland leapt up as Irene struck, increasing in flow by nearly 20 times in the space of a little more than a day, while downstream in Middlebury the river rose much more gradually, and more safely. This video was produced by the Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC), www.ctriver.org and the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) www.clf.org
