RE: [CBQ] Mississippi River work actually the Missouri River

["Carroll, Ed" <ed.carroll@heartland.edu>]

Thank you Rupert,
This is a very nice article on the stabilization work done along the Missouri.  
In the last two years I read a research note about the use of reed mats and 
potshards to help stabilize the banks of irrigation canals in ancient 
Mesopotamia, so some ideas continue to be used for millennia.

If anyone is interested in stabilising work by the Burlington in 1919 to 
protect the banks of the Mississippi between Omaha and Kansas City, there is a
