Trinity Watershed Flood Control Costs and Benefits
The Trinity watershed plan outlines federal and landowner shares for flood control measures costing 58.95 million dollars with 32 million Congress appropriated over 10 to 15 years. Landowner contributions are small and spread over 10 to 18 years, while federal support covers work already underway. The report notes erosion, sedimentation, and flood damages across farms and Galveston Bay, but highlights that proper soil conservation can greatly reduce losses and improve runoff control.
