The Value of Flood Control Dams in Oklahoma1951-01-01unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_047_3_27_38_0007The value of flood control dams in Oklahoma was demonstrated during a flood event on the Neosho-Grand river. While the dams helped mitigate flooding, there were issues with regulating water outflow from Grand Lake. The document suggests that a chain of smaller dams on tributaries could be more effective in controlling floods in the future. The need for improved flood control measures in the upper reaches of the Neosho river is emphasized.
