Unadulterated optimists and eternal give-damners will imagine the creation of a techno-utopia in which petroleum-guzzling treatment plants are replaced with constructed wetlands lush with genetically modified phytoremediators to purify agricultural runoff laden with pesticides and fertilizers; water-guzzling fields with post-botanical farms yielding record bushels from just a tiny amount of water; miles of canals that are no more than elongated salt ponds with an innovative water distribution and collection network; and an artificial Dead Sea with an actually thriving wildlife preserve, unironically dubbed the Hydrological Peace Park of Central Asia.

I think I recall the Hydrological Prediction Center issuing specific rainfall thresholds of 2-3 "that would trigger flash floods the last two nights -- yet we really stayed under those amounts, in most if not all locations (we lucked out!)

We also serve as the Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Council of the International Hydrological Program, focusing on water management, freshwater research and water-related disaster-preparedness and mitigation, which is not only a scientific concern but, as we've unfortunately seen in places like Haiti and Pakistan, a public health issue also.

But an independent second look published in the spring issue of Hydrological Processes, and supported by a growing cadre of water experts, says the corps was wrong — and, as a result, the region's ongoing $500 million levee and river navigation project is ill suited for a deluge.
