Salt City's water abundance hides flood defense work
Hutchinson Kansas sits on the Arkansas River bend with abundant well water for 38,000 residents and a 16 million dollar Army Engineers flood-control system. Dikes and canals protect the business district and divert Cow Creek toward the river. The system reaches 27 miles end to end, with up to 12 foot dikes maintained by the city and South Hutchinson. The water table dropped 7 percent since 1951, prompting ongoing conservation plans. Cow Creek poses flood risk, flowing under Convention Hall and aided by the Harsha Canal and Willowbrook levee to shield farmland and suburbs.
