Support for a Comprehensive Watershed Program: Letters to Representative Schwabe, 1951-08-31
Scope and Contents
The letters express opposition to the Tuttle Creek Dam project in Kansas and advocate for a comprehensive watershed program for flood control, including soil conservation, retention dams, dikes, and levees. The writers believe that a complete approach to flood control is necessary and criticize the current plan for being inadequate and potentially harmful to the environment and agriculture. They call for a reevaluation of the project and urge Congress to consider alternate plans.
