Iowa officials say they’ll use about $10 million in federal grant money on projects that they say will manage runoff and mitigate future flood damage.
Iowa received an $84.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in August. Officials say they’ll use $10 million of that money on watershed demonstration projects aimed at reducing flood damage and on educational programming.
Rebuild Iowa executive director Ron Dardis says the state now has the money to protect Iowans from future disasters.
The Iowa Flood Center will oversee the watershed pilot projects, which will test things like soil’s highest water holding capacity from precipitation.
