Brady Creek flood project aims to pay for itself three to one
The Brady Creek flood control plan, split into a $4.4 million structural phase with 47 detention dams and 45 miles of floodways plus five miles of terraces, and a $2 million land treatment phase, is projected to yield three dollars in agricultural benefits for every dollar spent. It covers 541000 acres across four counties with ongoing soil conservation efforts, aiming to keep more water in the ground and reduce downstream damage.
