Conservation
Notes
By J. B. O’DELL
Work Unit Conservationist
“Both urban and farm groups
are benefitting from the USDA
small watershed program.’’ This
is a statement by Dr. T. S. Buie,
State Conservationist of the Soil
Conservation Service, in the for
ward of a new publication that
is avaUable at SCS offices of
the state. The booklet, “South
Carolina’s Watershed Work is
Measured by its Wide-Spread
Benefits,” was prepared by the
State office in Columbia.
The entire community shares
in watershed benefits, according
to the booklet which outlines how
food buyers benefit from lower
ed cost of farm production, how
townspeople find recreation in
reservoirs created by flood re
tention dams, and how tax mon
ey is saved when flood damage
to roads, bridges and other pro
perty is reduced. Throughout
the booklet testimony by various
individual over the state sup
ports the explanations of the
many phases of watershed work.
In connection with watershed
projects, engineering survey
work for designs and plans for
two flood retarding structures
on our own Duncan Creek Wa
tershed project was started last
week. These two dams located on
the Whitten ViUage farm are
scheduled construction this year.
The purpose of floodwater re
tarding dams is to temporaUly
hold or store heavy rains. The
kind we had last week. Without
these dams, each rain of any
significance floods the bottom
land all along the stream Flood-
water stored in these dams will
be released down stream over a
period of several days by a pipe
through the dam. This prevents
the flooding of bottom land down
stream. Six of these dams are
planned for construction on the
Duncan Creek project during
the next five years. The Duncan
Creek Watershed Directors and
many people hope that these
dams ean be constructed as
planned and scheduled. And al
so the many other conservation
practices that are set forth in
the work plan. Then those many
