What if the Blanco rain event took place over the upper San Marcos River watershed overlapping significantly <br /> into the Purgatory Creek (Purgatory Creek is not mentioned once in the report - Why?) and Blanco Watersheds? Before this is arbitrarily dismissed think of all the significant rain events <br /> in the region in the last 18 months.Planning should begin with studies by "hydrologist specialists" mapping the Purgatory Creek, San Marcos River and Blanco River (below Wimberly) watersheds. <br /> With the resultant water flow models various scenarios can be studied. (I first became involved with this discipline during studies of rain events in Seattle where flows into and around <br /> Lake Washington were very environmentally sensitive due to salmon migration and the fact that Bill Gates lives there). The "what if" studies can provide a range of resultant conditions <br /> that will allow development of best responses.Form Question:Answer:Comment:this neighborhood raise their homes to a proper height so that we may continue to live here.Form Question:Answer:Comment:th <br />is neighborhood raise their homes to a proper height so that we may continue to live here.(note, although this entry appears to be a duplicate, it was entered under a different name) <br /> <br />Element <br />ElevationElevation <br />Source <br />Date <br /># <br />98/31/16Online Form Housing-108/31/16Online Form Housing- <br /> <br />
