- Description:
- The document is a letter from George B. Schwabe to Edward A. Thompson discussing flood control projects and the need for flood prevention rather than just flood control. Schwabe emphasizes the importance of addressing the issue at the source of the problem, such as constructing smaller dams and barriers on smaller streams to prevent flooding downstream. He also criticizes the misuse of public funds in flood control projects and the lack of consideration for the impact on the environment and economy. Thompson responds, agreeing with Schwabe's views and expressing concern about the misuse of public money in flood control programs.
