Flood Control
In Oregon's early days, emigrants came in droves to live along the Willamette River, but they soon discovered its volatile nature. Floods inundated the valley, property was destroyed, and lives were lost. The Army Corps of Engineers was given the responsibility to manage flood control in 1936. They conducted a study that found flooding to be a serious problem and recommended it be managed with a series of dams known collectively as the Willamette Valley Project.HM Number | HM24SZ |
