Mississippi Delta Headwaters Project
The original six authorized watersheds were Hotophia Creek, Batupan Bogue, Hickahala Creek, Black Creek, Otoucalofa Creek, and Long Creek. Subsequent authorizations added 10 other watersheds to the DEC project: Burney Branch, Sherman Creek, Town Creek (Charleston), Toby Tubby Creek, Abiaca Creek, Coldwater River, Hurricane-Wolf Creeks, Cane-Mussacuna Creeks, Pelucia Creek, and Yalobusha River. The watersheds range in size from 220 acres to 423,000 acres and total 1,887,000 acres or approximately 2,950 square miles.

The widespread problems and damages in the watersheds are of sufficient magnitude and complexity that a comprehensive watershed approach is required. There are a number of major structural features utilized in the
MDHP to
achieve the reduction of flooding, sediment and erosion. |
