Beaver Brook, Keene, New Hampshire. Flood Damage Reduction Project. Detailed Project Report for Water Resources Development.

Abstract

The report presents the results of a detailed study of flooding conditions along Beaver Brook in the eastern side of Keene New Hampshire. Frequent flooding along the brook has an average of $460,000 in damages annually. During the investigation several alternative plans of flood protection were examined for their economic and engineering feasibility. The report recommends construction of a $1.6 million plan of flood control improvements consisting of a modified outlet structure at 3 mile swamp upstream of the city, and 1700 linear ft. of channel improvements within the city limits.
