Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines a proposed project to create a navigable channel 14 feet deep and of suitable width from St. Louis to the mouth of the Mississippi River, as well as a survey of a proposed waterway from Chicago to St. Louis. The author, a board of engineers, was appointed by the Secretary of War in 1907 to investigate the practicability and desirability of such a project. They considered various methods of securing a 14-foot channel to the mouth of the Mississippi River, with each method being examined from an engineering standpoint, except for the method of improvement by means of storage reservoirs. The book concludes that the most practicable means of obtaining and maintaining the desired channel depth is by the combined method of dredging and regularization works in the open river. However, the author notes that an 8-foot channel from Chicago to St. Louis, corresponding to the present 8-foot project from St. Louis to Cairo, would adequately meet the demands of commerce. The book also considers the potential water power that could be created by the project and provides an in-depth analysis of the physical characteristics of the Mississippi River, including its drainage area, hydrology, and sediment transport. Its insights are invaluable for understanding the complexities of river engineering and the challenges involved in maintaining navigable waterways. 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. Seller Inventory # 9780331531619_0
