Army Engineers Critical Of Program Calling For 10 Small Upstream Dams
Army Engineers said ten small upstream dams would not yield as much flood protection on the Republican River as the Milford Dam. Col. E. C. Adams cited annual benefits of 2.6 million dollars for Milford versus 1.026 million for the ten small dams. The Milford Dam, at 41 million dollars, would be 19 miles above the river mouth near Junction City with a 25 000 acre pool reaching Clay Center. Some farmers urged flood storage for droughts but engineers favored limited upper creek storage for conservation. Lovewell Dam in Jewell County is among the ten studied sites.
