army engineers vera frequently called
upon 10 undertake public works Upon
very short notics 20 that employment
could be afforded TO thousands OF people
In need OF work The organization proved
adaptable and the emergencies were met.
In the past the construction OF the
Panama Canal and the enormous re-
quirements of World War service amply
demonstrated the possibilities of expan-
sion which this organization was capabls
without losing effectiveness and economy.
1yAN the great rivers of the Nation
~ which annually overflow their banks.
bringing waste and desolation to millions
OF acres of farmland, be brought within
their meandering banks and be made To
stay there?
It is not generally economical and In
many cases 1t is not necessary to reducs
food flows of the rivers so as to hold
them within their banks To accomplish
this would require vast outlay OF money
and. in number of cases. 1t is not physi-
cally possible.
Results of great practical value can bs
achieved by the protection of cities and
towns where concentration of population
and property intensity the flood hazard.
In almost all cases the protection of cities
and towns will necesSitate levees and
food walls, supplemented In some cases
by other protective works.
In addition, large areas containing inn
portant agricultural lands, manufacture
ing districts and railroad and highway
systems may be relieved from damaging
flood stages by suitable combinations of
control works such as storage reservoirs
and channel improvements.
On the other hand, over long reaches
OF river there are thousands OF acres OF
farmland. woodland and swamp where
even frequent overdows do little If any
harm and where floods may be reckoned
with other acts of God such as wind.
frost and hail. In many cases the more
frequent overdoWs do not occur during
crop seasons and little damage is caused.
For such areas 1t Is not economically
feasible at this time to provide protec-
tion by combining food waters or reducing
their height to bank-full capacity.
When the development of the Nation
reaches a point where more complete
flood control for all areas appears eco
non1ical and necessary, such additional
control can be provided
HOW long would it take to put such o.
: plan into effective operation? The
development and execution OF compre-
hensive food-control program can easily
be accomplished by the plans which the
army engineers have already set UP.
At present 1t does not appear to be
urgent to initiate food d-control plans
everywhere IN the United States. The
army engineers have prepared complete
plan for the Ohio Basin. including neces-
sary notifications OF the Mississippi plan
to further insure its safety.
The progress toward execution OF such
q plan would depend largely upon how
funds were made available BY Congress.

Four Means of Flood Control

THE preparation Of flood-control plan for
any particular river is complicated
problem i'm itself and it is futile to seek an
easy panacea for the solution Of flood
problems. However, the direct control of
floods can generally be accomplished by
the following four methods, varying their
application to suit specific conditions:
l. The construction of leUees to hold the
Uater off the land and c0nfine it to
established channels OF discharge.
2 The enlargement of the discharge
capacity of the natural channels By
Uarious means, such as Strengthening,
0idenng and deepening - in other
lo0rds BY an increase of the slope or
cross-secti0n of the natural channel
8. The provision of means for the escape or
diversion from the main channels into
additional or auxiliary or emergency
channels of food rUdters in excess of the
carrying capacity of the main channels
4. The construction of reservoirs to tDith
hold temporarily, from the natural
channels LDater i'm of their
discharge capacities, releasing this
stored lCnter in such quantity and at
such times that it may safely be carried
tn the natural channels
