Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the phenomena of the Mississippi River, particularly its transportation of solid matter to the sea. The author focuses on the formation of the river's delta, proposing a solution to the problem of the constantly forming sand bars at the river's mouthâ"a problem that has long plagued engineers. The text examines the river's physical composition, its flow, and the dynamics of the evolving delta, providing a comprehensive understanding of the river's behavior. The book delves into the theories and practices of river engineering, critiquing prevailing ideas and offering innovative solutions. It underscores the importance of balancing the forces that control the river's speed and sediment transport capacity to achieve the desired navigability and prevent the formation of obstructive sandbars. Through rigorous analysis and practical insights, this book illuminates the complexities of riverine systems and offers valuable guidance for future river management strategies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Jetty System Explained is a technical book written by James Buchanan Eads in 1874. Eads, an American engineer and inventor, is best known for his work on the Mississippi River, where he designed and built several jetties to improve navigation and prevent the river from changing course. In this book, Eads explains in detail the principles and methods behind his jetty system, which involves constructing parallel walls of stone or concrete along the riverbank to narrow the channel and increase the velocity of the water. This, in turn, helps to scour the riverbed and maintain a deeper, more stable channel for ships to navigate.The book includes detailed drawings and diagrams to illustrate the construction and operation of the jetties, as well as case studies of their successful implementation on the Mississippi River and other waterways around the world. Eads also discusses the economic benefits of his system, including increased trade and reduced transportation costs.Overall, Jetty System Explained is a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and anyone interested in the history and technology of river navigation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.…
