What reading level is The Hydraulic Principles Governing River And Harbor Construction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the upper Rhine, river straightening has produced a lowering of the river, but M. Coblenz states, in a description of the Rhine, that notwithstanding the straightening of numerous bends between Mannheim and Mayence, the slope and the velocity are still extremely feeble. He adds that, in the project for the improvement of the river above Strasburg, a sinuous course for the low-water channel has been adopted (8).
CHAPTER VII DIKE CONSTRUCTION AND BANK PROTECTION A rigid adherence to the French... system of river regulation would require a longitudinal dike along the concave bank of a sinusoidal form and of low elevation to give proper direction to the low-water flow. This dike would have to be connected to the bank by a system of spur-dikes to prevent scour behind it, and a system of similar dikes on the convex bank would have to be built, to prevent scour of that bank during high stages. These dikes would be given as low an elevation as practicable at the limiting line of the low-water channel, and would be made to slope gradually upwards as they recede from it, so as to bring the river back to the low-water channel on declining stages.
