Nitpicking here but your map of flooding in Dundas can't be taken seriously as it lacks any topography on it. For example, the flooding in the ravine area near the southern portion of the map (Robinhood Drive, Little John, etc) are at the top of a hill with a fairly steep drop down to the bottom of the ravine where the stream runs. I'd also have a very hard time believing that the floodplain for that stream is 50 feet, seeing as the stream is maybe 3 feet deep at the deepest points and is about 5 feet wide, maybe 10.

Dundas also has a fairly large grade to it (the western part of Dundas is much higher than downtown, or the eastern side out near Cootes, with most streams running at the bottom of ravines or at a lower height than the surrounding homes.

Just sayin'.
