Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Each time the waters of the mighty Mississippi River overflow their banks, questions arise anew about the battle between "man" and "river". How can we prevent floods and the damage they inflict while maintaining navigational potential and protecting the river's ecology?" "The design of the Mississippi and how it should proceed has long been a subject of controversy. What is missing from the discussion, say the authors of this book, is an understanding of the representations of the Mississippi River. Landscape architect Anuradha Mathur and architect/planner Dilip da Cunha draw together an array of perspectives on the river and show how these different images have played a role in the process of designing and containing the river landscape. Analyzing maps, hydrographs, working models, drawings, photographs, government and media reports, painting, and even folklore, Mathur and da Cunha consider what these representations of the river portray, what they leave out, and why that might be. With original silk screen prints and a selection of maps, the book joins historic, scientific, engineering, and natural views of the river to create an entirely new portrait of the great Mississippi."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These tests were conducted to develop water surface profiles on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers to assist the St. Louis District in updating rating curves, reestablishing design grades for authorized levee projects, and developing data for economic benefit and flood insurance studies. These profiles will also be used to ascertain which river flowline, the Mississippi, Illinois, or Missouri, would produce the highest stages at points along the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers for particular flow frequencies. Stages on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers just upstream of St. Louis, Mo., are affected by backwater from the Missouri River and by each other to the extent that the maximum stage at a given point for a particular flow frequency may be produced by the flows of this frequency on any of these three rivers.
