Over-engineered Mississippi River?

  • 1.  Over-engineered Mississippi River?

    Posted 29 days ago

    There is a SOURCE Article published on its June 12th issue – that reviewed the 2024 The Great River … book by Boyce Upholt. We have discussed different aspects of the Mississippi River engineering management issues before – this article rejuvenates them again.

    It questions to extent engineering interventions should go encroaching Nature's way of doing things. It points finger to the judgments of all – that propose one project after another. How careful are the cost-benefit-impact analyses of projects – for that matter of all sorts of feasibility studies – both short and long-term? Does the article say what it is?
