Conservation In Action

This is a project that was done in Davies county this month with EWP funding and a collaboration between the county/PE/NRCS and USACE.  It is a large set of Bend Way Weirs and bioengineering with willows to improve a notorious section of Prairie Creek.

The weirs actually thrust the main current out to center of channel where it should be and away from edges were bank was crumbling and undercut.
