The Conservation and Improvement of Tidal Rivers: Considered Principally; With Reference to Their Tidal, and Fluvial Powers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Preserving tidal rivers through practical science
This concise, accessible study shows how the tides and fresh water work together to shape rivers. It explains practical approaches for conserving channel capacity and guiding river improvements with real-world examples.
This edition focuses on how to balance natural forces with engineering actions. It uses the Tyne as a key case and presents clear principles for evaluating theories, choosing remedial measures, and assessing outcomes without overwhelming technical detail. Designed for readers outside the lab, it aims to illuminate how habits of observation and careful planning yield lasting results.- How tidal and freshwater powers interact in river systems and why capacity matters.
- What practical measures, like groynes and training, can do to preserve channels.
- How to judge theories and approaches against real river behavior and evidence.
- Lessons from historic surveys and modern comparisons to guide decision making.
