Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an investigation and report on the Mississippi River flood plain authored by a group of Army Corps of Engineers, and overseen by a presidential commission, in the aftermath of devastating floods in the 1870s. Recognizing that the annual floods were a major impediment to the prosperity of the region, the author analyzes plans to control the flooding and protect the massive agricultural potential of the valley. The report acknowledges the complexities of the Mississippi River and its tributaries, and rejects ideas such as constructing canals to divert floodwaters, or constructing dams and reservoirs to hold back floodwaters. Instead, the author advocates for and details a plan of building, raising, and bolstering a system of levees to contain floodwaters and protect the region. This book is a significant contribution to the study of flood control, engineering, and the development of the United States, and its insights remain applicable to flood control strategies today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331966494_0
