Sammy Kassem comments on gravel and and flooding He writes, from a lifelong experience living by the river, that he's noticed that, without random gravel removal, pools are shallower, floods are more frequent over wider areas, tree roots are undermined and fall into creek, creating debris along banks and under the bridge on KY 206.
