Development of a Flood-Control Plan for Houston, Tex.
In 1940 a detailed plan for the control of floods on Buffalo Bayou, which traverses Houston, Tex., was formulated by the Corps of Engineers, United States Army. Under this plan, two upstream detention reservoirs were constructed and some channel rectification was accomplished. Construction delays occasioned by World War II and the phenomenal growth of Houston have rendered the 1940 plan infeasible. Accordingly, the United States Congress in 1948 directed the chief of engineers to review the existing project and develop a new plan.
