Book excerpt: Excerpt from Watershed Program Evaluation: Plum Creek, Kentucky Benefits quantified from the Plum Creek Watershed Protection Project represent attainments during 1956-60. This short period of evaluation, in contrast to the assumed 50-year project life, is not adequate to verify the benefits estimated in the Plum Creek Watershed Work Plan. In addition to the short evaluation period, smaller amounts of most measures were installed than were recommended, and construction of some measures was not completed until the fourth year of the evaluation period. This may partially explain why the annual benefits from the watershed project, as evaluated, were considerably less than the work plan estimates. Also, due to the overlap of con struction and evaluation periods there was no time for farm operators to adjust to the reduced flood hazard. Reduction in floodwater damages to agriculture during the evaluation period was estimated to be annually in crop and pasture damage and in other agricultural damage. It was estimated that had all of the watershed improvements been in place prior to 1956, these benefits would have averaged and annually.
