Rivers by Design
State Power and the Origins of U.S. Flood Control
Traces the emergence of the mammoth US flood management system, which is overseen by the federal government but implemented in conjunction with state governments and local contractors and levee districts. This book shows how the system initially developed as a response to the demands of farmers and business elite in outlying territories.
