Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book delves into the topic of inland navigation, examining the various theories and practical opinions that have been proposed over the centuries, from the time of early philosophers to the present day. Despite the wealth of information available, the author laments the lack of well-established principles to guide navigation improvements, leading to a reliance on costly trial and error approaches. The book argues that a shift in focus away from the regulation of freshwater streams and towards increasing the duration of tidal influence is crucial for effective navigation improvements. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the tidal phenomena and physical characteristics of a river to identify and remove obstructions that hinder the propagation of the tidal wave and impede the flow of currents. Through case studies and examples, the author demonstrates the effectiveness of works such as deepening the riverbed, constructing guiding walls, and removing obstacles in enhancing tidal influence and improving navigation. By providing a comprehensive examination of the historical and theoretical underpinnings of inland navigation and offering practical insights into effective improvement strategies, this book serves as an invaluable resource for engineers, practitioners, and anyone interested in the history and development of inland waterways. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
