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).
