Video Shows Highlights from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Survey

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers posted a video on YouTube that contains highlights of the sedimentation survey that they conducted last week between the U.S. 59 bridge and the West Lake Houston Parkway bridge on the San Jacinto River.

This short video references some trouble spots they found and gives a good description of how “shoaling” can slow down water and back it up. Check the video out. The full results of the U.S. Army Corps survey should be available sometime this week.

The Army Corps has taken over the lead role for this project. Harris County Flood Control will play a supporting role.
