Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a meticulously detailed 1880 report on the drainage of the Sacramento Valley in California. Amidst rapid population growth and industrial expansion, the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers were overwhelmed by sediment and debris from mining operations, causing widespread flooding and threatening the region's economy. The report, commissioned by the State of California, presents a comprehensive analysis of the problem and proposes a bold plan for addressing it. It describes the extent of the damage caused by flooding and identifies the root causes, providing valuable insights into the challenges faced by California's water management system at the time. The author, an experienced engineer, draws on extensive research and data to propose a multifaceted solution involving the construction of dams, levees, and canals. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of water management in California, as well as the broader history of the American West during a period of significant environmental and economic transformation.
