§ 12720 Riverside County Flood Control Assurances

• •Riverside County must promise the U.S. Army they will help with flood control projects.
• •This promise is part of a bigger plan from a 1960 law to stop floods.
• •The county has to do its part, like paying money or providing land, to make the project work.

Imagine a big river near Riverside keeps flooding houses every year.

The county has to tell the Army, 'We’ll help build walls or clean up the riverbanks to stop the flooding.' If they don’t help, the Army might not fix the problem.
