tour off the coast of Vietnam in 1969-1970. After three years at the University of Arkansas, he once
again jointed the Navy; and in 1980, he was selected to attend the University of Kansas in an officer
program where he completed the first of two degrees from the KU with a Bachelor’s of Environmental
Design degree from the School of Architecture and Urban Design in May 1982. After KU, Don then
began his flight training in Pensacola, Florida at the Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS) and

James Walton, P.E. is a Registered Engineer with a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Kansas State
University. James defected to Missouri (sorry KS) and has worked 16 years for the City of Kansas City,
MO, Water Services Department. James works on the City’s flood warning system and related
emergency response, warnings development and barricade efforts and needs. James supports storm
water review and floodplain review for development and is the City’s CRS coordinator. James does in
house study and design projects and in house program development and management as well as project
management for study, design and construction projects for storm water needs. James provides and
works with the City’s modeling products and spends much time on GIS Analysis, flood risk analysis and
storm system assessments and recommendations for the City’s storm water needs. James is on call for
flood monitoring 24/7 and has been so for 14 of 16 years before a recent co-monitor was hired and
trained (at last!). I believe storm water concerns and issues are at a turning point thanks to key
technologies in modeling and geo-spatial analysis that can work together to tell us much more. So much
that our processes themselves will likely not just need to change, but may actually want to change. I
believe we can develop geo-spatial tools that allow complete visual and analytical analysis of storm risks
and concerns up front to provide better study, planning, design, development and
construction. I’ll discuss what visual and analytical tools and information the City of KCMO’s Water
Services Department is working to develop in order to gain far better directions in design, planning and
development within our community. I look forward to sharing these efforts with you all!
Mr. Zung received his BS in Geology from the University of Missouri at Rolla and a MS in Water
