Excerpt from Practical River and Canal Engineering: With Frontispiece, Maps, 12 Plates, and 89 Other Illustrations

Os late years the attention Of engineers has been called to the permanent improvement Of water-courses as an economical medium for the transport Of heavy goods between industrial centres.

It has been proved that a river, though presenting serious Obstacles to navigation, may, by a judicious system Of regulation, be improved SO as to permit Of an extensive traffic being carried on at a much lower cost than the construction Of a canal or railway.
