Abstract:
A new concept in water management may lead to improved water usage on millions of acres of cropland in North Carolina. A research project is testing to see if the Mitchell Swamp Canal of the Conetoe Creek Water District can be made to double as a water reservoir. The project will install a new inflatable dam called Fabridam to control the water level in the canal.
