The study area is located Entirely within the City of Phoenix, along 8 miles of the Salt River, from 19th Avenue to 83rd Avenue, downstream (West or Oeste) of the ongoing Rio Salado project and upstream of the Tres Rios Project. The recommended plan includes restoration of nearly 1,500 acres of riparian and flood plain habitat with recreation and incidental flood damage reduction.

A delegation from Saudi Arabia visited with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District in Las Vegas July 28. Of particular interest to the group was the District's longtime partner in area flood risk management projects, the Clark County Regional Flood Control District. LA District Commander Col. Kirk Gibbs briefed the group on the size and scope of work performed by the District and Rick Leifield, chief of the Engineering Division, spoke about the Corps' work with the local sponsor. Steve Parrish, CCRFCD General Manager, provided an overview of the regional flood control system and led a tour of joint projects around the area.

"Rollin' on the river!" I said, and I smiled broadly in exhilaration at the fine view. But then one of my airpods fell from my ear and tumbled down the concrete slope into the water. It was during "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner.
This report by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers repeats several times that the creek's concrete lining was installed "in the 1960s and 1970s" and never gets any more specific than that.

The F-4 Channel, a rectangular concrete channel located southwest of the Las Vegas Beltway, was built as part of the Tropicana and Flamingo Washes Project in 2007. Heavy rains in the vicinity of the channel caused ponding adjacent to the access road that resulted in the failure of one wall panel and damage to an adjacent panel Sept. 8, 2014. Repair work is being performed under Public Law 84-99, as an emergency response to a natural disaster.

Here, on the river's verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left.

Opening of the Bonnet Carre Spillway -Louisiana
www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/04/bonnet_carre_spillway...
In the past, administration of previous Barangay Chairmen of different barangays in the Municipality of Ibaan have been constructing and installing open canals and open drainage system in an effort to beautify their area of responsibility. This may have afforded number of benefits to the residents, but there still a long prevailing problem that needs to be addressed.
In a meeting with Barangay Chairmen, Mayor Danny Toreja called for one centralized drainage system that will connect and identify the water floods flow and direction during rainy season. He considers this to be an issue that needs to be addressed since some of the barangays, particularly those situated along high ways often times get flooded, causing risks and danger not only to residents but also to motorists.
In the same meeting, Mayor Toreja also asked the Barangay Chairmen to make an inventory of their barangay roads for possible government funding in the future. He also asked them to submit to Sangguniang Bayan and Engineering Office for assessment any planned road openings in their area.
According to him, barangay road problems often stem from the barangay administration’s failure to secure Deed of Donation from the land owner where the roads are constructed. He explained that without the said Deed of Donation, the family members of the land owner will always have the right to claim any donations made to the barangay. If this prevails, no matter how much the residents clamor for any infrastructures, funding from the government will not be made. Worst, in case government funds were used on private property, this might result to a malversation of public fund or falsification of public document case filed against the concerned elective municipal or barangay official.
In line with this, both Mayor Toreja and Engr. Samson convinced Barangay Chairmen to draft their Development Plan to provide directions as to where their leadership will be and for easier identification of priority projects.
