www.miamiconservancy.org Some of us know about the Great Dayton Flood of 1913. More of us see a result of that flood when we drive through Dayton on Interstate 75. The Great Miami River looks the way it does to assure that flood will not happen again. Thank the Miami Conservancy District for that. On its Web site, you can read about the Great Flood of 1913, look at a map of trails that run along the rivers, or where you can put a boat into the rivers. It also maintains an extensive network of sensors across the Great Miami River watershed to monitor river levels, groundwater levels and rainfall amounts.
