As the 100th anniversary approaches of one of the most defining chapters in Dayton's history, the famous flood of 1913, the Miami Conservancy District and Children's Historical Publishing have developed a new book for children describing this monumental event. During March of 1913, over nine inches of rain fell on the Miami Valley causing the river to overflow the protecting levees and fill the streets of cities from Piqua to Hamilton. Days after the flood, the citizens and businesses of Dayton took on the task of raising $2 million dollars for the best engineers to design a plan to prevent future floods. After the construction of five dams and 55 miles of levee and the creation of the Miami Conservancy, the city has benefited ever since from that generation's generosity. Joyce Kasprzak, Children's Historical Publishing. Executive Director, says, We and the Miami Conservancy hope that this book helps the children of the Miami Valley understand how this event contributed to the character of our community as united, persevering and inspired. Filled with vintage photographs and fun activities, Water, Water Everywhere marks the 22th title in the learning-activity book series. The books have been endorsed by teachers and parents statewide.
