THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL AOE TWO 1 Monday, April 18, 1960 Women's Club Flood Control; Elects Officers Members of the Plattsmouth Woman's Club attending the meeting Monday evening, April 11, lit the Blue Flame Room of the Gas Company, heard a talk by Paul Fauquet. Admin istrator 'or the Flood Control program now in operation and of plan.s for the future. By means of a structure loca tion .. map the Plattsmouth Watershed project was clearly defined and many interesting features of this plan were brou ght to the attention of the au dience. Mr. Fauquet explained the watershed comprises ap proximately 2,400 acres, with a difference in elevation of some L'OO feet from the outer edge of the shed down to our Main Street, He said, the Platte river has an average fall of 7 feet per mile as against a fall in the Watec'Shed locality of more than 70 feet, showing the ex treme, swiftness of water flow ing down our valleys, which is the source of much of our drainage trouble. The -main outfall storm sewer measures 7'2 feet, but with a six-inch rain per hour going down -Main Street, the flow is about' equal to the Platte Riv er's normal flow consequent ly a 7' 2 foot sewer is insuffici ent. Rather than building a larger storm sewer, the plan Is to try to hold as much of the water back where it falls by erection of dams; for that which cannot be held, to delay its running off so that the 7'2 foot sewer cri care for the flow. The, past year has seen the building of three dams locally dedication of which was held last August and these are in full operation since that time.

Anyone interested in helping with this project by giving a tree or funds with which to pur chase trees, Mr. Fauquet said, is asked to get in touch with the Park Board. Six varieties are adaptable and desirable for this planting, he said. He said the first problem fac ing the Flood Control Adminis tration at this time is to get ad ditional funds to acquire sites for more dams the most ur gent is the one planned for sou th of Valley View.
