Annual Damage by Floods.

The average annual damage by
floods in the United States has never
been accurately determined. but such
Investigations as have been made in
dictate that the loss must be at least
$100.0o0.000 annually. 1t appears that
in many parts of the United States the
proper expenditure Of an amount equal
to one years food loss would prevent
future floods: in other parts of the
country the cost would probably eaual
the losses Of two or more years. but
in every locality prevention could be
accomplished by an expenditure of
equivalent to the losses from the floods
OF q few years.
In few flood regions, however, could
this result be accomplished except un-
der federal action. Most of the rivers
are interstate. Their basins were de-
fined many thousands of years before
state boundaries were conceived.' THE
proper eatment of the flood question
must therefore follow the limits i'm
posed by nature rather than the ar
tificial lines defining the sovereignty o:
the various states Prevention Of floods
is purely an engineering. problem, and
the engineers who have thoroughly in
vestigated it realize fully the necessity
for federal regulation.
On another feature of this subject
the engineering profession is also
agrede, namely, that whatever means
may be finally adopted to prevent this
great devastation the results of inves-
legations of rivers must be available
to show their habits, flows. seasonal
changes and eccentricities, and, more
over, such Investigations must extend
over period of years and be practi-
cally completed before remedial meas
ures can be applied.
