Potter County Canadian River Reservoir Proposed for Flood Control
A flood protection reservoir on the Canadian River in Potter County near Amarillo could cost 4.325 million dollars unless the Conchas Dam in New Mexico suffices. The National Resources Board says Conchas will control runoff from about a quarter of the South Canadian drainage, with Amarillo’s reservoir potentially adding 8,000 square miles and offering full control of waters from the upper South Canadian basin.
