About this item

by Donald C. Jackson (Author), Martin V. Melosi (Author), U. S. Department Bureau of Reclamation (Author)

This history explores the story of federal contributions to dam planning, design, and construction by carefully selecting those dams and river systems that seem particularly critical to the story. The history also addresses some of the negative environmental consequences of dam-building, a series of problems that today both Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seek to resolve.
