“The History of the Kinzua Dam” will be the topic of the next Cafe 905 Primetime Series to be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 17, at Cafe 905 (Warren Community Center), 905 Fourth Ave., Warren. Call 723-3577 for more information. Authorized by the Flood Control Acts of 1936 and 1938, Kinzua Dam and Allegheny Reservoir is one of 16 flood control projects in the Pittsburgh District. The project provides complete protection for Warren, Pa., from Allegheny River flooding, and in conjunction with other projects in the District substantially reduced flooding in the Allegheny and upper Ohio River Valleys. The project’s flood control capabilities were dramatically demonstrated during the June 1972 floods resulting from Tropical Storm Agnes when an estimated $247 million in flood damages were prevented. Since its completion in 1965, Kinzua has prevented flood damages estimated to be in excess of $1 billion. The reservoir also provides water to be released during dry periods.
