The Harris County Flood Control District is a special purpose district established by the Texas Legislature in 1937 and overseen by the Harris County Commissioners Court. It employs a range of structural and non-structural tools to mitigate flood damage, including infrastructure maintenance and flood damage reduction projects.
With a history of major floods occurring approximately every two years, the district aims to reduce flooding risks and damages through partnerships with federal and state agencies, local communities, and private interests. It also manages a capital improvement program, maintenance programs, and additional initiatives to ensure the effective management of stormwater and the preservation of floodplains.
