Iowa's Program Follows Early Conservation Idea
Iowa moves from early watershed planning to the current Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act program. The Little Sioux watershed in northwest Town since 1946 covers 1,713,823 acres across eight soil conservation districts with over 40 percent cooperation. Since 1953 Iowa has advanced federal pilot projects, with 37 of 47 applications approved to date totaling 718,860 acres. Progress includes completed watersheds, ongoing construction, and planning for nine more, funded by state and federal sources under Public Law 566, with local cost shared for non flood control works and strict maintenance and rights-of-way requirements.
