We could learn a lot from our predecessors, animal and human alike: beavers (no river, brook, pond or lake was without beavers controlling flooding throughout NE when it was… colonized), and the Romans… ohhhh…those canals and acqueducts. Don’t they teach hydrologic 101 anymore?
Much easier to ignore our history and just give it to the engineers (who do not consider natural processes at all), and the contracts they can rake in… oooohhhhhh the filthy lucre attached to disaster capitalism!
Ooooo rahhhhhh!
Why were there close calls? Did the dams work as designed or not? Flood control dams are intended to have volume for when the big storms hit. There are at least three flood control dams in the Winooski River system that are above Montpelier, Waterbury and Richmond, which all flooded. They didn’t over-top, which is a good thing, but could proper planning done more to retain the flow and reduce/avoid flooding? More questions than answers here but wondering.
