What reading level is Big Dam Foolishness the Problem of Modern Flood Control And Water Storage book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is well to remind the reader again that the Grand Lake (Pensacola) reservoir failed to hold flood waters to the extent that it overflowed with disastrous conse- quences below the dam, in 1943, 1950 and 1951. Three times in eight years.
Previous to the big May flood, the water level had been kept high because the politically vested interests wanted to make a showing of hydro power to satisfy public demand. So when the flood came it contributed substantially to the Arkansas flood, downstream, ...which cost 19 lives and did $127, 000, 000 worth of damage. Grand River furnished the top half of this Arkansas River flood. That was what did the damage, for if the dam had actually contained the Grand River flood ac- cording to the glittering prospectus and oratory, there would have been only high water (no flood of conse- quence) in the Arkansas River.
Assuming that a large reservoir is divided into three approximately equal layers or "pools, " it means that each of the three principal functions is reduced to one- mmm 1 Pensacola (Grand Lake) dam, Grand River, Oklahoma.
