Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Protection Forests of the Mississippi River Watershed and Their Part in Flood Prevention The Mississippi River, from time immemorial and until prevented by artificial barriers, was accustomed every few years to inundate about square miles of land. This ancient flood plain, which under levee protection had been developed into a very rich territory, was the scene of the flood of 1927 (fig. The greatest physical disaster in American history. Uncontrollable waters inundated about square miles of country and dispossessed about people of their homes, some temporarily and some permanently. The property loss was appalling. Fortunately, about square miles of the richest portions of the ancient flood plain, as well as the city of New Orleans, were saved by protecting levees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this study is to assist in program management by pointing out problems, both recurring and unique to 1993, which hamper an effective response to natural disasters. Starting from a historical summary of flooding on the upper Mississippi and lower Missouri rivers, it then describes 1993's disaster. Next, the general approach of the White House and Congress to flood recovery is examined. The activities of individual U.S. Department of Agriculture agencies also receive attention. Most of the document focuses on the Soil Conservation Service's flood recovery program, new wetlands and levee policies, and the vexing problems encountered in this work. Finally, the Service's work in each of the nine flood states will be discussed in detail.
