Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines early land reclamation projects in Tennessee, and provides context for similar projects in other early settled parts of the United States. The author emphasizes the significant financial benefits of protecting alluvial lands from flooding, including increased income and property values, citing numerous examples of communities and states which experienced dramatic increases in wealth after completing such work. While the text extensively discusses the practical methods and challenges of reclamation, the author also stresses how land reclamation efforts have been an important element of economic development in the United States throughout its history, transforming wetlands into fertile farmland and allowing the construction of levees for flood control. The book's insights into the economic benefits of land reclamation will be of particular interest to planners and policymakers working on similar projects today.
