Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the St. Francis Valley drainage project, a comprehensive plan to reclaim over one million acres of land in northeastern Arkansas. The project incorporates innovative engineering solutions, such as the construction of floodways to carry excess water and inverted sipho…ns for draining water beneath them. By weaving together historical context, technical analysis, and economic projections, the author presents a compelling case for the project's significance. The book delves into the history of the St. Francis Valley, including the impact of the New Madrid earthquakes, and explores the various factors that affect runoff, such as rainfall patterns, topography, and soil conditions. The author provides a detailed account of the planning process, outlining the challenges of managing water flow in a vast and complex watershed system. The discussion of construction methods and cost is thoroughly explained, providing valuable insights for engineers and contractors. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the St. Francis Valley drainage project, exploring its historical, technical, and economic dimensions. Its detailed analysis and clear explanations make it a valuable resource for anyone interested in water management, civil engineering, or the history of land reclamation in the United States.
