The Celeryville marsh near Willard withstood a severe drought and a later four inch rainfall thanks to irrigation pumps and rubber dams that preserved 30 million gallons of water for future use. The $1,334,836 Northwest Ohio flood control and irrigation project, largely funded by the Soil Conservation Service, aims to boost crop value, extend land life, and provide municipal and recreational benefits while reducing flood risk across 13 watershed plans in the 27-county region.
