The most suitable plan for the flood protection to the city of Houston, Tex., is one that provides for the continued operation of Barker Reservoir and Addicks Reservoir; for the rectified channel immediately downstream therefrom; and for the clearing, straightening, enlarging, and lining, where necessary, of the channels of Buffalo Bayou, Brays Bayou, and White Oak Bayou. Extensive studies were made and retention and diversion of flood waters were considered, but the rectification of natural channels proved to be the most desirable and economical plan.
