What reading level is The Nicaragua Canal Its Design Final Location And Work Accomplished 1890 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
598 miles. It is proposed to retain the water in this basin at an elevation of 1 06 feet above sea level; in other words, the summit level of the Canal is carried across the "Divide" and extended to Lock No. 3, or to within 12 3-4 miles of the Atlantic, and but 3 1-2 miles from the sea level, which, as stated above, reaches 9 1-4 miles up from Greytown. The advantage of these two large reservoirs in close proximity to the locks need not be com- mented upon, and the facilities afforded as a "tur...n-out " for ships in waiting and traveling in opposite directions cannot be over-estimated. The dam is proposed to be built of stone or what is termed "rock-fill, " with earth backing, and will have a weir 600 feet long on the crest, and a fall of 45 feet for the discharge of the surplus water into the lower basin. This will be supplemented by another weir 800 feet long, located on the south side of the valley in a gap between the hills enclosing the upper basin, giving a total length of weir of 1, 400 feet.
