Book Description
Excerpt from Government Control With Cooperation of Riparian States and Cities in the Construction and Maintenance of Levees, Bank Revetments and Channel Enlargements: For the Rivers of the Mississippi Valley as Adequate Means of Flood Protection Resulting in Increased Wealth and Stability of Investment After each great flood, especially when disastrous effects have been caused by crevasses, we find persons expressing doubt as to the efficiency of levees alone as a means of protection and offering remedies other than levees for the prevention of floods. To these persons it should be made known that the high water of 1912 has not exceeded, except in a few stretches of the river, the expected and long before-hand predicted heights.
