Cuero Watershed Structures Prove Helpful in Flood Retardation
Raetzsch Wagener, chairman of the DeWitt County Soil and Water Conservation District, reports that North Cuero Watershed structures have slowed flood waters from rising in Cuero. Despite heavy rains causing agricultural damage, the structures resisted runoff and prevented worst flooding. Three channels will be built in two years to carry downwater and collect lateral flow into the Guadalupe River, officials said at the SWCD board meeting.
