Flooding causes high waters in north Arkansas

[@Chad-ui5cv]

Will never forget renting a boat up river and having it not start as we approached the highway 9 bridge here in the 80’s. We v’d the boat and luckily all were safe but it was a wild ride. Someone towed us in.

Weather Modification needs to be made illegal. Tennessee did and some other states did. And turn off the nexrads.

Where is this

[@danlowe8684]

This is not flooding. This is SOP river stuff. Parks, ballfields, boat houses, etc., are meant to flood. It is called city planning. Farmland tends to follow rivers due to the expansive nature of past floods enjoyed by the land. The floods deposited fertile sediment that translated to great crop growth. With the development of drain tile, farmers found a way to drain the low lying and swampy areas that had previously been unfarmable. Many communities also had the money to install dikes and levees, which halted flooding of fields, and led to more developable, taxable, land development. So, after decades of draining lowlands and building levees (along with the impervious concrete and blacktop developments), the water that once fell as rain in swamps, replenishing the aquifers, and spreading outwards from the riverbed, slowly migrating into the flow of water- we now have cropland who's drain tile and storm water runoff that dumps the water immediately into the rivers, and levees constraining the formerly meandering natural flow - with nowhere else for the water to go. This is the situation today - with higher river levels and lower cubic feet per second flow rates that we have.
