STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – Officials of the Army Corps of Engineers say new technology means that a levee breach during a flood no longer has to be a disaster.

A demonstration is planned Monday at Stillwater of equipment that the agency says can plug a breach in a levee quickly and avert widespread flooding.

The demonstration is set for the federal Agriculture Department’s Hydrologic Engineering Research Unit at Stillwater.
