""Physics and Hydraulics of the Mississippi River"" is a comprehensive report by James Buchanan Eads, detailing the findings of the U.S. Levee Commission in 1876. The report covers the physics and hydraulics of the Mississippi River, including its flow, sediment deposition, and the impact of levees and other structures on the river's behavior. Eads, a renowned engineer and inventor, presents detailed analysis and recommendations for improving the river's management and navigation, including the construction of jetties to control sediment deposition and the use of lock and dam systems to regulate water levels. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and engineering of the Mississippi River, and its impact on the American landscape and economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
