The Gooding Milner canal is an irrigation canal that runs through the Magic Valley (in Idaho, United States) providing water to nearby farms. It starts 8 miles west of Burley, at the Milner Dam and runs past Eden, Hazelton, Dietrich, Shoshone and Bliss before emptying into the Big Wood River in Gooding. [1]

The Little Wood River is a tributary with several small ditches as well. The canal also serves as a favorite recreation area for people that enjoy tubing in tires as well and floating down the canal. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">1979 Easter flood</span> Severe weather event in Mississippi, US

The 1979 Easter flood was one of the most costly and devastating floods to ever occur in Mississippi, United States, with $500–700 million in damages. It was the result of the Pearl River being overwhelmed by severe rain upstream. Floodwaters sent the Pearl River 15 feet above flood stage. More than 17,000 residents of Jackson, Flowood, Pearl, Richland, and other settlements in the Jackson metropolitan area were forced from their homes. The flooding of the Pearl River placed most of the streets of Jackson, the state's capital city, under several feet of water. This flood resulted from a storm system that was the same storm system that, just a few days earlier, produced the Red River valley tornado outbreak that is particularly well-known because of the devastating Wichita Falls, Texas tornado that killed 42, injured over 1,700, left an estimated 20,000 homeless, and caused, in 1979 dollars, approximately $400 million in damages.

Lafayette, Louisiana is part of the Gulf Coastal Plain region of the United States and is located at coordinates 30°12′50″N 92°01′46″W. It has an elevation of 36 feet. One of the physical characteristics of the geography include many streams that drain the parish. The primary river that runs through the city is the Vermilion River. This river was formed by the confluence of a few small bayous, stretches about 70 miles long, and drains into the Gulf of Mexico. Most of Lafayette's landscape is urban; however its humid and subtropic climate during the summer allow it to house many species of birds, alligators, and fish. The winter season is mild. While Lafayette is situated in a geographic location that is overall relatively safe, the city is susceptible to flooding; hurricanes are also a common natural disaster.
