Cigrand CV. 2018. Flood-Inundation and Flood-Mitigation Modeling of the West Branch Wapsinonoc Creek Watershed in West Branch, Iowa. 2018–5002. U.S. Geological Survey
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the city of West Branch and the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site of the National Park Service assessed flood-mitigation scenarios within the West Branch Wapsinonoc Creek watershed. The scenarios are intended to demonstrate several means of decreasing peak streamflows and improving the conveyance of overbank flows from the West Branch Wapsinonoc Creek and its tributary Hoover Creek where they flow through the city and the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site located within the city.
