Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed report on the Charles River Basin Commission (CRBC) and its work to dam and improve the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts between the years 1903-1910. The CRBC was established by the Massachusetts Legislature to address longstanding environmental and public health issues related to the river, including waste and sewage. This report describes in detail each stage of the CRBC's comprehensive plan to improve the river, from constructing a dam to designing a system of sluices and marginal conduits to manage water flow and prevent flooding. The work also included the removal of 175 acres of exposed mudflats at low tide, transforming the area into a more aesthetically pleasing, cleaner, and more usable public space around the river. This meticulous report not only serves as a useful historical document for those interested in the history of the Charles River, but also provides insight into the complexities of large-scale civil engineering and environmental projects.
