An engineering firm was hired to produce several charts showing the LCD an illustrated result of water levels around and within the Lawrenceburg levee. These charts are used to plan for pump usage, floodgate closures, public awareness and possible evacuation.
The illustration on the left shows Normal Pool Stage of 31.2 feet. The middle illustration shows the result of the Ohio River level of 55.7 feet. The illustration at right shows the River Gauge at 79.7 feet, the top of the Lawrenceburg Levee. At that level, Lawrenceburg and Greendale would resemble an island community.
