  1. I think this is the "Willow Waterhole", a large detention pond that was built shortly after Tropical Storm Allison. It is part of the massive project to help minimize flooding in the neighborhoods along Brays Bayou.

    You are correct. It is a small part of the Willow Waterhole project. It is part of a joint Harris County Flood Control District and federally funded flood control project for the Brays Bayou watershed. Eventually, the almost the entire area south of Gasmer, west of Post Oak and north of main, and east of Chimney Rock will be excavated to provide flood control storage. In addition, there is discussion of putting an extreme event flow conveyance pipe from Brays Bayou under Chimney Rock to the ultimate Willow Waterhole detention site. This will serve to reduce peak flows in Brays Bayou before they reach the Medical Center.
