Drainage Problems in Tennessee (Classic Reprint): Extract (A) From Bulletin No. 3, Drainage Reclamation in Tennessee, 1910 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Harness the story of Tennessee’s flood-prone lands becoming fertile, productive fields.
This historical study explains why alluvial bottom lands along rivers are exceptionally fertile and why floods have long limited their use. It outlines how protection through drainage and levees turns dangerous swamps into valuable farmland, with classic examples from global and regional contexts. The text also discusses how glaciation left marshy areas that modern reclamation has transformed into productive acres.
Readers will discover the financial and practical logic behind reclamation projects, including how costs, land value, and potential returns interact to decide whether a project is feasible. The material covers how states finance drainage work, and how landowners can participate so improvements pay for themselves over time.
- Why alluvial lands are so fertile and how floods build depth over years
- Why protection from floods enables farming on previously ruined lands
- How reclamation of glaciated and overflow-prone areas is planned and funded
- Historical examples and the broad impact on West Tennessee’s drainage strategy
Ideal for readers of regional history, agricultural policy, and early 20th‑century public works in Tennessee.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines how state geological commissions were often the first group to recognize and champion drainage efforts to increase the bounds of productive land in their respective states. Focusing primarily on the state of Tennessee, the author shows how this approach helped to increase not only the state's agricultural and economic strength but also the overall quality of life for its citizens. The book details the arc of this effort, from its early stages of organizing the framework to fund and execute these projects through to the impressive results these projects achieved. Exploring the role of the Tennessee Geological Survey, the book makes clear the importance of these state-level geological commissions in seeing the need, possibility, and ultimately the method by which large-scale land reclamation could occur. 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 9781527737969_0
