Maitland Water$hed. The study was to assess the surface water resources of that portion of the watershed lying upstream of the Aiighway No. 23 crossing of the: Middle Maitland River. The study was initiated by all agricultural land drainage probe leer in the Waliace-Marybormigh Townline area. While simple land drainage problem, it would hare done noth- ing but aggravate the flooding conditions which are known to exist at Listowel. It was shown by calculation that land drainage without supplementary i'lood con- trol could increase the peak flood discharge as touch as fifteen per- cent. Flooding, and the damage re- sulting Prow flooding, is not new to the citizens Of Listowel. How- ever, since the last serious flood occurred in 1918 when 41/2 feet of water covered Main Street, it was felt advisable to assess that data under todays development. A$ a means of assessing the potential damage from such a flood in 1971, a survey was under,. taken. This survey indicated that. recurrence of the 1948 flood would cause 81,560,000 in direct damages in the Town of Listowel. The magnitude of the potential damage indicates the nesessity for providing flood control. In order to provide improved land drainage for the agricultural community While preventing fur- thee aggravation of flooding at Listowel, a flood retarding reser- Voir was recommended. Examination of the watershed resulted in the recoininendation that a dam be constructed at a Point just upstream Of the eastern boundary of ListeweI. The Middle Maitland Dam would be an earth fill dam with a concrete gravity spillway. Over- all length of the ram Would be 660 feet with a maxim= height of 17 feet. Behind the dam, the Middle Maitland Reservoir would extend one mile p the ma in. :Stxeamn into Wallace Township terming a lake with a surface area of 190 acres. Although the dam would he primarily used for flood control, it would also provide a multi- purpose reservoir which could be used for recreational purposes and for low floW augmentation. This stagy is only one of the numerous projects Undertaken by the Maitland 'Valley Conservation Autherity in solving the natural resource probleins of the water- shed.
