Excerpt: ... freely over its bed on a declivity of one foot per mile; and requiring S64,000,000 cubic feet per day, nearly eight times the quantity we have assumed to be abundant for the Ohio slackvvater! To controvert successfully, the opinion that there will always be an ample supply of water on the Ohio slackwater, should it ever be constructed, something more than a bare assertion to the contrary, with a mere reference to an inapplicable example, is looked for. In the present state of the discussion, the writer thinks he will be sustained by the judgment of every candid examiner, in the opinion that thisJirst objection, namely, want of water for the lock and dam system, has no reliable foundation. The question of water supply is a very important one, and we have endeavored in this case to put it to a severe test. 2. The second objection is, that the dams though only 8 feet high from pool to pool, will cause a vast increase in the elevation of the great floods, and consequently seriously damage property along the river, and destroy cities, mills, &c, &c Much stress has been laid upon this objection: so much, indeed, that Mr. Morris has ventured to announce an opinion that it is fatal to the plan. Granting nothing in this stage of the question on this point, the great practical question to be decided is, will such dams create any material additional rise in times of high freshets ? Mr. Morris has, to some extent, investigated it, but he confines his observations mainly to the, results of a particular case, on the Potomac River, and to one particular flood. He presents a profile of that river, showing the flood line of an 18 feet flood, and its effect with an 18 feet dam; from which it appears, that (he increased rise at the upper end of the pool...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early days of 1937, the Ohio River, swollen by heavy winter rains, began rising. And rising. And rising. By the time the waters crested, the Ohio and Mississippi had climbed to record heights. Nearly four hundred people had died, while a million more had run from their homes. The deluge caused more than half a billion dollars of damage at a time when the Great Depression still battered the nation. Timed to coincide with the flood's seventy-fifth anniversary, The Thousand-Year Flood is the first comprehensive history of one of the most destructive disasters in American history. David Welky first shows how decades of settlement put Ohio valley farms and towns at risk and how politicians and planners repeatedly ignored the dangers. Then he tells the gripping story of the river's inexorable rise: residents fled to refugee camps and higher ground, towns imposed martial law, prisoners rioted, Red Cross nurses endured terrifying conditions, and FDR dispatched thousands of relief workers. In a landscape fraught with dangers—from unmoored gas tanks that became floating bombs to powerful currents of filthy floodwaters that swept away whole towns—people hastily raised sandbag barricades, piled into overloaded rowboats, and marveled at water that stretched as far as the eye could see. In the flood's aftermath, Welky explains, New Deal reformers, utopian dreamers, and hard-pressed locals restructured not only the flood-stricken valleys, but also the nation's relationship with its waterways, changes that continue to affect life along the rivers to this day. A striking narrative of danger and adventure—and the mix of heroism and generosity, greed and pettiness that always accompany disaster—The Thousand-Year Flood breathes new life into a fascinating yet little-remembered American story.
