From the Paper:

"BACKGROUND In Columbia County Georgia, specifically the old recreation park at the end of Park Lane, is prone to flooding due to inadequate storm water drainage systems, changing landscapes due to the areas growth, and beaver dams that impede the natural flow of water into Reed's Creek for evacuation out of the area. Reed's Creek basin, a tributary of the Savannah River has been routed into the Augusta Canal since 1850. This was the first stream settled during colonial times, in what is now known as Columbia County. The majority of Columbia County's population is centered in Reed's Creek basin and it extends, roughly, from Belair and Wheeler Roads, in a crooked northeastern course for about nine miles, to the Augusta Canal, near the Savannah Rapids Pavilion.
