This book is a comprehensive proposal for a significant infrastructure project to dramatically improve the utility of the Ottawa River for shipping and navigation purposes. Written by an experienced engineer, the proposal outlines a plan to create an uninterrupted navigation route from the city of Montreal to Lake Huron by constructing a series of canals, locks, and dams along the river's length. The book details the specific locations, dimensions, and construction methods for each element of the proposed system, taking into account the unique geological and hydrological characteristics of the Ottawa River. It also delves into the broader context of river improvement projects, discussing the economic and environmental benefits of such endeavors.
