Authorization: Section 216 of Flood Control Act of 1970 Purpose: Flood Risk Management (FRM) Phase: Feasibility Non-Federal Sponsor: Harris County Flood Control District Scope: Address residual risks associated with flood risk impacts to structures in the pool area upstream of both reservoirs and downstream along Buffalo Bayou Potential FRM Measures:

  • Additional reservoir/dam
  • Increased reservoir storage capacity
  • Tunnels
  • Diversions
  • Improved inflow and outlet discharge channels
  • Acquisition of flowage easements and buyouts
  • Changes in dam operation plan
  • Harris County may develop ways to better inform

residents of their risks

Status:

  • Working towards Tentatively Selected Plan (April 2020)
