I've written before how I think Reedsburg ought to build a flood wall to protect it's downtown. However, I think they need to do other things then just having people buy flood insurance. I know they put soil along the edges of the bank when they were repaving the road. However the city needs to do more then send out notices to buy flood insurance.


However, perhaps they should build small water retaining projects in the streams, and creeks. They could have people from the high school do this as service projects for earth day. Thus doing the project at low cost. If it rains alot then that will slow down the water from all going down into Babes creek then flooding the area. Also this will help to filter the water, and help remove population.

With all the expansion going on in the city over the last years there is alot more runoff then there used to be. So also perhaps the city could allow "green roofs" to help retain water from houses. Also they also allow people to build water storage devices to so they could keep water from flooding down the drain.

This would help prevent flooding. Also it would help us better use a natural resource. It would also help the environment.
