River flood control brings comfort to Franklin County
The Marais des Cygnes floods threaten Ottawa while upstream reservoirs like Harlan County and Kanopolis prevent flood damage valued at over $1 million and $470 thousand respectively. Built since 1948 at a cost of $12 million, these dams are filling with water and may release it in future dry cycles. Local farmers practice soil conservation, contour planting and waterways, but experts say combined measures plus channel improvements and upstream reservoirs offer the full solution.
