Flood control spending buys limited protection for U S
The United States spent nearly three billion dollars on flood control since 1928 but progress remains limited. The Army Corps of Engineers built 172 local projects with 78 under construction, plus 56 large reservoirs and 44 more planned. Reclamation and TVA projects add multi purpose gains, while soil conservation and reforestation cost only 17.5 million so far, with a long term savings. Despite vast investment, the annual flood toll shows no clear decline.
