ARROYO WILL
CONTINUE TO
Be FLOODWAY
Navigation Plans Not
To Prevent It's Use
AS Natural Drainage
Canal
BY II. L. SEXTON

y
Rumors circulated over the Valley
TO the effect that development Of the
Arroyo Colorado as navigation
waterway will prevent the utilization
of that natural drainage channel M n
floodway during periods of major
flood, and that the Cameron county
flood control program has blocked
resacas and other natural drainage
outlets and will force larger volumes
Of water through the artificial flood
way TO the north, are vigorously
denied by Cameron county officials.
The Arroyo Colorado has been Of
ficially designated as a floodway,
and any plans for utilization OF the
Arroyo for navigation must take this
into consideration" w. o. Washing
ton, Cameron county engineer, stated
in discussing the flood control situ-
alton.
Utilization or the Arroyo as q
floodway will not seriously effect its
development for navigation, engi-
neers state. They point cut that the
flood waters will be discharged
through the Arroyo only during
periods or high floods, which occur
very seldom, and that the discharge
through this natural drain is only OF
few days duration. Development
Of the Arroyo for navigation would
probably neeessitate the construc-
tion Of a protected basin and float
ing wharves, and with these facilities
provided the volume or water flow
ing down the Arroyo would have no
material effect upon shipping.
Cameron county designated the Ar
royo as a flood control channel on
November Fl. 1925. in a order pass
ed by the commissioners court. On
February Is. 1926, the identical or
der was passed BY the Hidalgo coun-
ty commissioners court, the order
stating.
