A Preliminary Report On The Drainage Of The Fifth Louisiana Levee District PDF Download

Excerpt from A Preliminary Report on the Drainage of the Fifth Louisiana Levee District, Comprising the Parishes of East Carroll, Madison, Tensas, and Concordia This report presents the drainage problems as they exist In the Fifth Louisiana Levee District, points out certain general methods of inaugurating and proceeding with its drainage, and submits a crude estimate of the probable cost of main and lateral drainage under the conditions which are described. It discusses the necessity of ade quate preliminary surveys and careful stream investigations, sub mits an estimate of their cost, and also suggests the order in which drainage works may most profitably be developed. It is urged that the drainage organization be so formed that the work can be prose outed along the general course herein marked out. It should be understood that as only about six weeks were spent in collecting and arranging the data, the information which is assem bled and discussed in the report is not of a precise nature, and that some of the assumptions upon which statements are based may later be found not entirely correct. It is believed, however, that the report will prove helpful in the organization and prosecution of drainage works in the district.
