Our Mission

Barker Flood Prevention is a non-partisan, volunteer group advocating flood management solutions for the Barker Reservoir watershed by coordinating with public agencies and elected officials, educating the community about flood management projects and policies, and encouraging timely implementation of effective projects.

Our action items are:

Increase conveyance out of the Barkers and Addicks Reservoirs. Solutions we support include flood tunnel(s), diversion channels, channel improvements and/or bypass.

Improve and restore channel conveyance and capacity upstream and downstream of Barker Reservoir and within the reservoir, including dredging, desilting and de-snagging.

Add capacity within Barker and Addicks Reservoirs through select excavation in the reservoirs. (Ex. 737-acre project located due East of the Canyon Gate in the Cinco Ranch area.)

Add intermediate detention/retention capacity upstream and downstream of Barker and Addicks Reservoirs.

Build infrastructure through a combination of viable solutions to manage Cypress Creek overflow to prevent Cypress Creek runoff from adversely impacting the Barker and Addicks watersheds.

Do not increase the Barker Reservoir flood pool by extending spillways.

Do not destroy existing neighborhoods, schools and businesses via large scale buyouts.
