This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Effects of Flood Control Projects on Agriculture, Vol. 1: Reservoir Areas The New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station, in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture, undertook in 1954 a study of the effects of existing dams and reservoirs on agriculture, both in the reservoir and downstream areas. This report, prepared by the N. H. Station in 1955, is designed to appraise the effects in the reservoir areas. Perhaps experience gained from the existing projects can indicate measures to improve relationships and practices relative to these projects, and also to minimize the impacts of future projects on farms and communities.

Download or read book The Land in Flood Control Classic Reprint written by United States Department Of Agriculture and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land in Flood Control The upstream flood-control program which the Congress has author ized is essentially part of the national program of promoting wise land use, which includes the application of such conservation farming and forestry practices as retard run-off and arrest soil erosion. Such prac tices are simply adaptations of nature's conservation and flood-control methods to the conditions of advanced cultivation. The principle of all of them is simple: To make running water walk or e°creep, to store a far greater part of it in the soil; and to do this by making the soil and its crops provide, as impediments to run-off, millions of natural little dams. By the simple device of plowing and cultivating around the hill, for example, each furrow, each harrow scratch, becomes in effect a small dam or terrace. On steeper slopes somewhat more elab orate methods may be needed, such as forestation, terracing, strip crop ping, etc. Other segments of the national land use program may be made to contribute to flood control. Eroded submarginal farm land that is contributing to flood flows may be purchased and retired from cultivation, and misused forested lands may be acquired for flood control and other public purposes. Thus the flood-control program does not become a new program of the Department of Agriculture in the sense that new types of activities are undertaken. It presents no new technical problems to the Depart ment, and requires no new agency to set up to carry out the purposes of the flood-control acts. Existing bureaus of the Department are already equipped to go ahead with various phases of the program. The flood-control programs require in their upstream phases, however, com plete coordination of all land use programs, and reemphasize the inter dependence of the Department's many and varied activities.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Justification of Flood Control Proposals The institution of an extensive program of flood control and the proposal of a large number of specific pro jects has focused attention upon the question of the economic justification of flood control expenditures. Widespread agree ment has'been reached upon the proposition that justification must derive from the excess of benefits over costs. To date, however, there has been.no agreement upon.and insufficient con sideration of the nature of either benefits or costs, the methods and techniques of their estimation, and their precise significance. The formula of weighing benefits against costs is simple, but the definitions of what constitute benefits and what constitute costs are exceedingly complex. A variety of concepts and practices are current; consideration of their implications and the development of a sound and uniform.method of estimating the economic justification of flood control projects is imperative if a rational and effective national flood control program is to be launched.
