Resource Name Resource roads and wetlands
Resource Purpose FPInnovations will further evaluate resource roads performance in wetland conditions. Our efforts aim to: Identify specific research questions around drainage structure performance in wetlands. Investigate and propose practical, cost-effective solutions that provide water passage/drainage through roads traversing wetland conditions. Conduct trial installations to evaluate the costs, operational feasibility, and short-term performance of any proposed water passage/drainage improvement alternatives; successful existing practices are to be evaluated for operational and cost-effective improvements. Conduct long-term monitoring of site (water, vegetation) and road properties to determine the effectiveness of alternative water passage/drainage solutions.
