100% flood protection for Cedar Rapids could be very costly
September 2, 2008

Three of the proposals under consideration for improving flood protection in Cedar Rapids could help deliver virtually certain defenses against future floods, but they could be incredibly expensive: Raising floodwalls and levees around the city, in some cases up to 18' high, or creating a half-million-acre reservoir upstream of the city. The reservoir proposal is almost certainly impossible, considering it would take up more than 800 square miles, or more than all of Linn County.
