Excerpt from The Control of Reservoir SiltingThis report has been prepared in an effort to meet the increasing needs and requests of reservoir owners for information on silting con trol. It is the first publication in this country to describe and appraise all of the known methods of control. Many of these methods could be put into immediate use. The publication especially emphasizes the measures of watershed control and soil conservation, however, for these are the only practical means by which we can permanently pro teet most of our reservoirs from untimely loss from silting. In our present economy, it is not generally practicable to clear a major reser voir of sediment once it has filled up. Moreover, when a reservoir is filled to the point where it has no further value for storage, not only is the investment lost, but the irreplaceable reservoir site is gone.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
