Synopsis

Excerpt from Big Dam Foolishness: The Problem of Modern Flood Control and Water Storage

It is intended to smash into a sixty-century-old thought pattern and question certain petrified concepts that seem to have been taken for granted by those who deal with the behavior of natural water.

The book is expected to arouse the criticism of those who stick to the Old conventional pattern. On behalf of a rapidly growing school of thought which rejects that pattern, it is hoped that the critics will meet the main issues of this book with a fresh set of arguments, without resorting to the hackneyed formulae of which the following are typical.
