Reservoirs To Reduce Flood Crest
Army Engineers say two new flood reservoirs in Ohio and one in Kentucky will cut about five feet from the crest of any Ohio River flood. Built on the East Fork of the Little Miami River Caesar's Creek in Ohio and the Licking River near Falmouth Kentucky, the projects would lower Cincinnati's flood crest from 66.2 to about 65.2 feet and keep the Licking River flood below stage at Falmouth.
