This book examines how state geological commissions were often the first group to recognize and champion drainage efforts to increase the bounds of productive land in their respective states. Focusing primarily on the state of Tennessee, the author shows how this approach helped to increase not only the state's agricultural and economic strength but also the overall quality of life for its citizens. The book details the arc of this effort, from its early stages of organizing the framework to fund and execute these projects through to the impressive results these projects achieved. Exploring the role of the Tennessee Geological Survey, the book makes clear the importance of these state-level geological commissions in seeing the need, possibility, and ultimately the method by which large-scale land reclamation could occur.
