Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress: Eighth Annual Convention, Washington, D.

The policy advocated is the crystallized result of the thought and the experience of the business men of the United States. It merits and should receive the cordial support of every section, every interest and every citizen of the Union. Its adoption by the Federal Government would result in benefits enormously greater than the expense involved.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Eleventh Convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress The 1914 Convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress - a full report of the proceedings of which will be found in the following pages - was the eleventh convention held by the organization since its formation in 1901, and the tenth since its reorganization in 1906. The first convention was called after a Rivers and Harbors Bill had been talked to death in the closing hours of a short session of Congress. The eleventh convention was held after a filibuster in the Senate had compelled the substitution of a lump-sum appropriation of $20,000,000 for a carefully prepared and thoroughly meritorious bill carrying a total of more than $53,000,000. The Convention of 1914 was held during a time of serious business depression due to the war in Europe. Added to this was the fact that the railroads of the country, without exception and for the first time, refused any reduction of rates, although low rates were granted to scores of other gatherings, many of which were smaller in size and less in importance than our annual convention. It is both significant and gratifying that even under such conditions nearly one thousand delegates were present, coming from 37 States, the District of Columbia and Canada, and representing 246 cities and 138 commercial organizations. Whenever the people of the United States shall realize that the complete development of all our resources and the attainment of the highest possible prosperity can be secured only through the improvement and utilization of our waterways and harbors, there is no question that the needed appropriations will be forthcoming. It is the work of this organization to create an intelligent, forceful, result-compelling public opinion on the waterway question through the presentation of facts and of arguments based thereon. It is believed that the present volume will be found a worthy contribution to that end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Rivers by Design written by Karen M. O'Neill and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-03 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has one of the largest and costliest flood control systems in the world, even though only a small proportion of its land lies in floodplains. Rivers by Design traces the emergence of the mammoth U.S. flood management system, which is overseen by the federal government but implemented in conjunction with state governments and local contractors and levee districts. Karen M. O’Neill analyzes the social origins of the flood control program, showing how the system initially developed as a response to the demands of farmers and the business elite in outlying territories. The configuration of the current system continues to reflect decisions made in the nineteenth century and early twentieth. It favors economic development at the expense of environmental concerns. O’Neill focuses on the creation of flood control programs along the lower Mississippi River and the Sacramento River, the first two rivers to receive federal flood control aid. She describes how, in the early to mid-nineteenth century, planters, shippers, and merchants from both regions campaigned for federal assistance with flood control efforts. She explains how the federal government was slowly and reluctantly drawn into water management to the extent that, over time, nearly every river in the United States was reengineered. Her narrative culminates in the passage of the national Flood Control Act of 1936, which empowered the Army Corps of Engineers to build projects for all navigable rivers in conjunction with local authorities, effectively ending nationwide, comprehensive planning for the protection of water resources.
