The Willamette Basin Comprehensive Study of Water and Related Land Resources. Appendix E. Flood Control.

Abstract

Willamette Basin is a major contributor to the economic well-being of the Pacific Northwest. Its agricultural and forest lands are the basis for products shipped to the nation and the world. Its people, and their industries, provide a market for products and raw materials from national and world-wide sources. As development in the basin continues, flood damages become greater and economically more devastating. The purposes of this appendix are to outline past and present flood problems in the basin, determine the present and future needs for flood damage reduction measures, and outline available flood damage reduction alternatives which should be considered in plan formulation. The scope of coverage includes flood characteristics, flood damages, enhancement of land values, existing projects, and damages prevented; and structural and management alternatives for prevention of flood damages.
