What reading level is The Isthmian Canal An Address book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That problem has been perfectly solved by our Commission.
The first thing is to build a dam across the Chagres and convert nearly 20 miles of the river into a lake, that lake to be of such dimen- sions that no flood will produce a current in it which would do any harm. The surveys and examinations show that this is perfectly feasible; such a lake will form the summit level of the canal at an elevation varying between 85 and 90 feet, or about 13 feet lower than Lake Nicaragua, in which no curren...t would be strong enough to do any harm, and which would ordinarily be a perfectly quiet lake in which navigation would be as easy as in Lake Nicaragua. A location has also been found at some distance from the Chagres where a masonry spill-way can be built, over which the lake will discharge in flood times, and the rate at which it would be discharged can be easily calculated. It is not probable that the flood water over that spill- way would ever be over five feet high, and the water can be taken from that spill-way to the sea without coming into the canal in the whole distance.
