Excerpt from The Training of Rivers, And, Estuaries
Cost of the Lover Rhone training-worka - The expenditure on the training-works since 1878 up to the end of 1892, amounted to of which were spent in maintenance. A. Balance of still remains to be expended before the original estimate is reached; and it is stated that the cost of the works remaining to be done will not exceed this sum. As, however, the scheme of 1878 was materially modified during the course of the works - necessitating the removal of portions of the earlier works - the existing training-works could undoubtedly have been coma-noted at a smaller cost.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the topic of river trainingâ"a vital engineering practice for many centuries. It covers foundational principles, engineering methods, and real-world case studies to illustrate the concept. The author explores training techniques for rivers flowing into the sea, detailing how tidal influence complicates the process and how different approaches are needed. This book also delves into rivers that meet tideless seas, forming deltas that present unique challenges for training and navigation. It examines successful and failed projects throughout history, demonstrating the factors that determine a project's efficacy and longevity. Through a comprehensive analysis of case studies, the author reveals how an understanding of physical conditions at each river mouthâ"such as alluvium volume and density, sea-bottom slope, and tidal dynamicsâ"can guide the most effective training methods.
