West Rock Avenue in the 1980's after flooding |
The river tends to flood when it rains heavily. If the dam breaches, Westville suffers immense damage.
Here are some pictures taken by Victoria Applegate, a typesetter and choir director at a Catholic Church in the 1980's. These were taken with her analog Canon single lens reflex camera.
Rain can affect peoples' lives greatly. Water, just in a broad sense, is vital to the survival of human beings. Too much is clearly a problem, in the case of flooding. But in the event of droughts in the MidWest USA this year (2012), the lack of rain is equally as devistating.
The world relies on balance.
