Harris County has begun work on a significant flood protection project. The Poor Farm Ditch Project is a major investment aimed at reducing flooding in certain areas.

The project involves modernizing a drainage channel within the Brays Bayou watershed. This will include widening and deepening the channel to increase its flow area.

Further details on the project, including its scope and expected impact, are available from Harris County officials and news outlets, such as KPRC 2 Houston.
