What reading level is Supplementary Report On Dix River book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This very fine grained rock is of a very low degree of porosity. It will absorb very little water and will admit of only a very slow rate of seepage. It therefore will not carry away any appreciable part of the water caught in the ressrvoir behind the dam, during the late summer months when the rainfall is least. Moreover, a rock of such little porosity will not be readily soluble.
The total thickness of this very fine grained rock within the limits of the State of Kentucky, and especially at H...igh Bridge, has not been determined. It is sufficient to state that at Camp Nelson about six miles east of the dam site, Prof. Arthur M. Miller found a vertical section of 400 feet of this rock actually exposed, and with the base of the very fine grained limestone evidently at a still lower level. In this case it is at least certain that 200 feet of very fine grained, hard limestone underlie the water level at the proposed dam site, and for all practical purpose, this thickness is already so far in excess of actual necessities for the support of the base of a high dam, that I venture the opinion that nowhere in the State of Kentucky is there to be found any site equally favorable to the erection of a high dam, well anchored, and with smaller oppor- tunities for seepage, firmly supported at the base, and within such short distances from towns of considerable present and future importance.
