Description

In its natural condition the Sacramento Valley flooded annually and an inland sea formed during the rainy season, draining away by the summer months. This text documents and analyzes the processes and widely diverging ideas about how best to reclaim the valley from flood - a process equally relevant to riverine areas across the USA, many of which experienced serious flooding in 1997.
