For more than 100 years, the Miami Conservancy District's flood protection system has helped reduce flood risk throughout Southwest Ohio, allowing communities to safely develop the riverfront parks, trails, downtown destinations, and recreation amenities of the Great Miami Riverway. The vibrant riverfront experiences visitors enjoy today are possible because generations of leaders invested in protecting both communities and the river corridor.
