Water Conservation; Water Erosion; Flooding and Prevention

Description: Photograph of a stream channel clogging. Drift wood clogging the stream channel on the Little Deep Fort Creek. This clogging causes the water to spread out over the land during periods of heavy rain fall. Much damage is done to both land and crops as the result of this flooding. The Soil Conservation Service estimates that damage is done to 16,500 acres of bottomland along the creek. OK-273-5.
