News Organ in Des Moines Registers Scoop on How Iowa Engineers Take the Load Off


The Des Moines Register recently had a story about this Iowa flood control development. The smaller photo is from the Polk County assessor's office, and the bigger photo is from Google Earth. According to the paper:

The nearly four-acre basin was constructed about two years ago and "took some of the load off of the pipe downstream" and helps prevent flooding, according to Des Moines City Engineer Jeb Brewer.


Some things you just can't make up.


We here at The Cup of Joe fully appreciate the cutting edge design sense of our engineer friends in neighboring Iowa, and we are looking forward to your next project. This corncob is for you, mis amigos!
