Storage Reservoirs to Halt Floods and Aid River Navigation
A plan proposes forests to retain water and storage reservoirs at the headwaters to smooth flows and support navigation on Appalachian rivers. The U S has spent about 30 million dollars to improve upland navigation and more than 56 million on related work, with Ohio contributing over 6 million. Despite funds, navigation remains precarious in upper stretches, forcing some steamboat lines to suspend operations.
