Another low smaller dam below Wivenhoe is needed. LEGISLATED SO THAT IT IS ONLY FOR FLOOD MITIGATION, not quietly left full for population growth or drought. This would be cost effective, could be used for grazing at all other times. High enough to hold flood releases only, and emptied in a contolled manner after flooding possibilities ease. Like they have in the deserts of Arizona! Could be an earthen dam, just to hold back waters in times of flood…EMPTY AT ALL OTHER TIMES.
I submitted a much more detailed idea and also for Norman Creek, but it did not go through.

Fabulous idea. the hard part being selling it to the hierarchy who were personally unaffected by the flood.
We need to unite in all these wonderful suggestions & make sure
action is taken, now.
