Photograph of flood prevention. Watershed Treatment - Washita River - Wildhorse Creek. Farm pond under construction for livestock water and gully erositon control. A 10 inch pipe will be installed for flood water control and spillway protection. A waterway will be constructed below pond to carry water to Wildhorse Creek. It will carry water from 80 ac. field in upper left corner after vegetation is well established. Diversion in lower right will also spill into waterway. About 500 acres of good bottomland will be protected from silt and overflow by these practices. Note saw logs which have been removed from bottomland.

Inundation Studies

Photograph of water impounding Plot 5, one of six being used to study water inumdation tolerance of selected species of grasses associated with flooded areas above floodwater retarding structures. Viewed from top of embankment at lower end of plot. Edd D. Rhoades shown standing at the 5 foot depth location. This plot has been flooded two times; 4/30/61 to 5/10/61 (10 days) and 6/12/61 to 6/22/61 (10 days). Slight damage was noted after the first flooding and considerable damage was noted after the second flooding. This study is in response to SCS research needs. Work is under the supervision of Edd D. Rhoades, Agricultural Engineer, ARS-SCS.

Photograph of a close-up of KSU lowland switchgrass (in front of sign) in impound basin number 4 at a depth of 5.0 feet following two floodings for 10 days during early spring (3/22-4/1/62) and mid-spring (5/3/62). Ther was a slight suppression of growth, however, there was no killing of any part of the grass at this depth. For view of this grass when flooded at the same duratio at a depth of 1.0 foot, see OK-1760-6 dated 6/8/62. This research is under the supervision of Edd D. Rhoades, Agricultural Engineer, ARS-SWC.
