The document discusses the history and impact of drainage projects in the bottomlands region between Missouri and Illinois, known as the Big Swamp. It describes how drainage legislation in the 1850s laid the groundwork, and then over 50 years of organization and construction resulted in the Little River Drainage District (LRDD) system of 956 miles of drainage ditches. This transformed the formerly flooded bottomlands into fertile farmland, improving roads and increasing production of important crops like cotton. The projects were funded through county taxes and provided drainage benefits to participating landowners.
Once the centre of the modern world London is a city with a rich and opulent history and most of that history is linked to the fact that the British had the strongest and the most robust navy in the whole wide world and their capital, London was easily connected to the sea route by the river Thames.

From Imperial Dam to the Salton Sea: The story of Imperial Valley's waterChris Austin
The Imperial Dam diverts about 90% of the Colorado River's water that reaches it, averaging 5.5 million acre-feet per year. More than half of this water irrigates nearly 500,000 acres of farmland in California's Imperial Valley, while the rest serves areas in Arizona and California. The dam and the All-American Canal system deliver a reliable water supply to the region while three large desilting basins settle sediment out of the water before it enters the canal. The Imperial Irrigation District operates and maintains this infrastructure to provide water for agriculture in the Imperial Valley and sustain flows towards Mexico.

The document summarizes the history of flooding in the Colusa Basin Watershed prior to flood management efforts. It describes how the Sacramento River would flood broad areas of the valley floor annually during high flows. Early private flood protection efforts failed due to their small scale and lack of coordination. The state later established swampland districts to organize larger, engineered projects but with limited success. Ultimately, a federal flood control project was needed to comprehensively address Sacramento River flooding in the watershed.

The Central Valley Project Slideshow: Building CaliforniaChris Austin
The document provides an overview of the Central Valley Project (CVP) in California, which is the largest water project in the state. It describes the key facilities and operations of the CVP, which spans 400 miles from Shasta Dam in the north to Bakersfield in the south. The CVP provides water for irrigation of farmland, households, and hydropower generation.

The CVP coordinates operations with the State Water Project to distribute water supplies across California.
Water from the Continental Divide travels through the 6.2 mile Moffat Water Tunnel to Gross Reservoir. From Gross Reservoir, the water meanders through Eldorado Canyon and is diverted into pipes, flumes, and channels to move it up and over the foothills using siphons. The water is then dumped into Ralston Reservoir via a 120-foot chute. Finally, the water flows from Ralston Reservoir through pipes to the Moffat Treatment Plant where it is filtered and treated before traveling to homes and businesses in Denver through 3,000 miles of pipes.
The San Diego River has existed for over 2 million years and was an important resource for the indigenous Kumeyaay people, who lived along it for thousands of years. They used the river and surrounding land to meet needs like bathing and creating habitats. In the late 1800s, as settlers arrived, they began controlling the river's flow through dams but also displaced the Kumeyaay from their lands. In the 20th century, development in Mission Valley increasingly restricted the river's path and habitat. Today, conservation groups work to preserve the river and connect communities to it as an important part of the region's history, environment, and identity.
The Mississippi River is the second longest river in North America, flowing 2,350 miles from its source at Lake Itasca in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. It drains about 40% of the contiguous United States and has the third largest watershed in the world. The river and its tributaries are important transportation routes and have helped build fertile soils along its banks, especially in Louisiana where the river deposits rich sediment to form the Mississippi Delta. However, the river also poses major flooding risks, which cities like New Orleans protect against through levees, canals and spillways, though catastrophic failures have occurred during hurricanes like Katrina.
The summary is as follows:
1. Rivers change as they flow downstream from their sources in the uplands.
2. In the upper course, the river flows through a V-shaped valley with steep sides and waterfalls are common.
3. In the middle course, the valley widens and the river meanders through the flatter landscape, eroding the valley sides.
4. In the lower course, the river enters a floodplain with ox-bow lakes and deposits sediment in a delta or estuary at its mouth.

Oregon has abundant water resources but also faces challenges from climate change. Precipitation and river flows vary greatly over the year and between years. Rising sea levels and increased coastal erosion threaten coastal areas, while longer dry periods impact water supply. Equitable access to water is important for human and environmental justice.
The upper course of the river has a V-shaped valley with interlocking spurs and a steep gradient. Vertical erosion is the main process as the river cuts downwards. The river channel is narrow and turbulent with rocks and pools. Land uses include dams, grazing, and forestry. In the middle course, the valley opens out into a U-shape with sloping sides. The river begins to meander through sideways erosion. The channel is broader and gentler. Land uses include smaller fields and villages. In the lower course, the wide flat floodplain emerges with levees and ox-bow lakes. Deposition replaces erosion. Meanders may be cut off. Near the coast, deltas or mudflats

15. Navigating the
Mississippi River is an
Ever Changing
Process. The
Channels are always
Moving and the River
Conditions can be
Treacherous.
This Year the Water
Levels were Especially
High. Sailing under
Bridges can be a Real
Challenge.
16. To get Under Certain
Bridges, the Ship has
to Literally be
Lowered.
The Following
Sequence of Photos
Shows how the Smoke
Stacks are
Hydraulically Rotated
onto Cradles.
17.
18.
19.
20. Once the Smoke
Stacks are Both
Rotated Down, then
the Pilot House must
also be Lowered
Sufficiently to fit under
the Bridges.
The next photo is an
Interior View of the
Pilot House.
21.
22. The Entire Pilot House with all its
Controls is also Hydraulically Lowered
Far enough to allow Bridge Clearance.
(At left, Pilot House in Fully Raised
Position.)
23. Just enough Clearance to Allow the
Captain and his Crew to Operate the
Ship Utilizing Secondary Controls as
we Sail Under a Bridge.
24. Captain’s (Pilot’s) Licenses are Not
Easy to Obtain. The Test Requires the
Captain to Draw the Mississippi River
by Heart with all the Obstacles, Locks
and Channels.
25.
26. We Sailed Through Twenty One (21)
River Locks During our Journey from
Alton, Illinois to Red Wing Minnesota.
Each Lock Includes a Complex Dam
System with River Level Controls.
27. In Order to Control the Mississippi
River Water Levels between Each Set
of Locks and Dams, there are a Series
of Huge Doors that Are Able to Rotate
Deep Under Water Regulating Flow.
28. The Locks are Controlled by Doors that Either
Move Vertically Up and Down (Left) or Hinging
Doors (Right). Ships are Raised or Lowered inside
the Locks by as Much as 120 Feet.
