Synopsis
"A Treatise On Rivers And Torrents; With The Method Of Regulating Their Course. To Which Is Added, An Essay On Navigable Canals. Tr. By J. Garstin" by Paolo Frisi. The work translates Frisi's comprehensive hydrological treatise (original 1762, with later editions) into English. It surveys origins, dynamics, and regulation of rivers carrying gravel, sand, and mud, and details the effects of river training, straightening, dredging, dams, and sluices. It presents three books, addressing river origins and bed formation, velocities and slopes, and the movement of sands and mud, along with an extended essay on navigable canals tracing historical and contemporary practices from antiquity to Holland and France. It blends theoretical hydrodynamics (Torricelli, Newtonian models, equivalent height) with practical engineering observations, cosmopolitan case studies, and prescriptions for canal construction (sluices, locks, bed rectification) including the Benedictine Canal and Milan’s network. Garstin's translation includes Prefaces by translator and author, and a detailed exploration of canals across Europe and Asia. The volume remains a foundational reference for hydrology, civil engineering, and the history of water management.
