British Columbia
Richmond includes most of the islands in the Fraser River Delta, of which Lulu Island is the largest and most densely populated (the eastern end of the island belongs to the neighboring New Westminster). Island is the second largest island and the seat of YVR International Airport. Together with 13 islands, these two islands constitute Richmond, with an area of 129.66 square kilometers.
Because all the land in Richmond belongs to alluvial plain, which has a lot of fertile alluvial soil, this area became one of the earliest areas reclaimed by Europeans in British Columbia in the19th century. However, because the average height of these islands is only one meter above sea level, they are easily troubled by floods, especially at high tide (it is said that Richmond is below sea level). In view of this, as early as the opening of the port, residents began to build river banks to prevent floods. At present, all the main islands in Richmond are protected by riverbanks (very different from the riverbanks in the Netherlands and the dams in New Orleans). Nevertheless, if Richmond is hit by an earthquake, the river bank may break, which will lead to liquefaction of soil alluvium and cause serious damage. If the Fraser River encounters an unusually large inflow of fresh water in spring, Richmond may also cause a flood. Most of these banks have leisure trails, which are part of Richmond rural land, with a total area of 65,438+0,400 acres (5.67 square kilometers).
