As part of the Dallas Floodway Bipartisan Act Supplemental Project, USACE Fort Worth, in partnership with the City of Dallas, is building new pump stations and refurbishing existing pump stations to give increased flood protection to the citizens of Dallas. In this video Sarvi Ashraf, Lead Engineer for the Dallas Supplemental; Robert Powell, Dallas Floodway Operations Manager; and Sarah Standifer, Assistant Director for Dallas Water Utilities talk about the nearly complete Able Pump Station, the largest pump station on the Trinity River, which is undergoing testing by the City of Dallas. As an integral part of the city’s interior drainage and flood control system, these pump stations move water from the city, over the levees into the river.

Water Safety Videos

"Forever 15: Tragedy on the Water" was the concept of Waco Lake Park Rangers, Elizabeth Anderson and Randall McCartney. A mock drowning filmed by Waco Independent School District film students May 4 and a recovery operation conducted May 22 was all part of an elaborate water safety public service announcement, following the already successful "Shattered Dreams" program that involves the dramatization of an alcohol-related crash on or near a high school campus.

The real-time recovery operation was conducted in full view of about 120 students from the Bosqueville Independent School District. The program was embraced by the schools, City of Waco, Bosqueville county and civic and private organizations.
