Texans push a flood control program for the Brazos watershed proposing more than 20 small reservoirs and 12 major dams costing about 50 million dollars. The project would reclaim 8 million fertile acres, irrigate west Texas pastureland, and cover 44 600 square miles with 27 percent of the state’s population within the basin. Initiated by Gov Pat Neff in 1921 the Brazos Conservation and Reclamation district governs with a 21 member board led by Louis Mims of Houston.
