To provide public access to the information presented in this report, this World Wide Web site was created to display the results of two-dimensional modeling between 63rd Street and Blue Parkway, flood inundation maps, backwater inundation maps, and the latest National Weather Service stage forecast for each forecast location within the study area.
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of Kansas City, Missouri, began a study in 2003 of the lower Blue River in Kansas City, Missouri, from Gregory Boulevard to the mouth at the Missouri River to determine the extent and character of flood inundation in the Blue River valley from flooding on the lower Blue River and from Missouri River backwater for stages above flood stage.
