Congratulations Mr. To we. Resources has approved funding for the im- plementation of a com- prehensive flood waming system within the Maitland and Lucknow Rivers watershed. The approval of the project will mean almost immediate implementation of a system that will improve the authority's ability to monitor river flows, in the watershed area. The new system will also allow the authority to predict flood threats much sooner... and ...with greater accuracy. The new flood -warning system will be phased in over a three-year period in several locations on the Maitland and Lucknow Rivers as well as smaller, branches and tributaries. The flood warning system will include snow courses, staff guages, a streamflow guaging meter, data logger units and a mini computer and terminal to evaluate and translate the data collected along the system. The total cost of the project is estimated at $109,200 and Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority manager, Bryan Howard explained the Ministry will provide a basic grant of $104,610. The project is also subject to supplementary grants up to 30 per cent of the total cost, leaving the MVCA to raise 15 per cent of the cost of the project. That will leave the authority with a balance of $28,530 to be raised by the watershed levy. The 1981 MVCA levy already reflects a slight increase to ac- commodate the initial phase of the warning system. Howard explained that the present MVCA warnfing system uses telemark guages on the Maitland River that are connected to the telephone system and a needle to record water levels. Readings are taken at Listowel, Wingham and Lucknbw to determine flows. But the system will be improved dramatically with continuous recording guages that will register river flows every hour and give 30 -day continuous readings. Howard explained that in- formation from the 30 -day readings will be stored in the SCHOLL°S ABATTOIR and Freezer Meats Zone oratorical wine rs in the Optimist competition held last Sunday in Clinton were, Julie Russell, left, of Stephen Township and Dean Musty of Kirkton. The winners, who go on to the regional semi-finals in Chatham are shown with zone chairman John lluyck of Goderich.

"The new system will give the authority an accurate predicting ability that we didn't have," he said. "That will be very important in the upstream ends of the watershed area and the Wingham flood • plain is a critical area." The monitoring guages will be installed at Listowel, harriston, Bleuvale, two at Lucknow, Newry near Atwood, at Wingham, at Donnybrook. near. Auburn, Ethel, Belgrave, Blyth, Summerhill and a guage at Benmiller 'at the most easterly point. The system will be phased in beginning with the easterly section of the watershed, where flooding is a problem, and then gradually move west. The guages ,at Blyth and Ben - miller will be installed during the final phase of the implementation process in. 1984. "It is a five-year program and the system is most needed in the critical flood plain areas near Listowel and Wingham," Howard explained. "It will give us the ability to predict peak flows or flooding with the computer translating data. The Saugeen Authority uses a similar system and it works well." The Provincial govern- ment is also planning a new weather radar station in the Exeter area and theMVCA will be able to hook into the weather station. "If there are any significant storm warnings or if _substantial rainfall is expected we will have that information from the radar station," Howard said. "With that we can predict water flows in the critical areas and have advanced warning." The, MVCA now uses staff guages at three locates but it is a primitive method of data collection. "We weren't actually sure of water levels until the waterrose btnt.this. system will record continuously and we will know what to ex- pect," xpect," Howard said.
