Wednesday, June 13 Big Muddy Speaker Series Big A's on Missouri Riverfront, St. Charles, Mo City........
Presentation by Kenneth Ray Olson and
Lois Wright Morton
Each Great River in North America is a case study from which much can be learned from past catastrophic events to better plan for the future. Previous short documentaries focus on the Missouri River and tributaries including the Platte and the Yellowstone rivers, how their confluence creates something far greater than the sum of their flows and the bottomlands that are sources of wealth and risk to those whose lives are intertwined with the rivers. They illustrate managing the river when it exceeds flood stage; dredging in drought to assure a navigable channel; and earthen levees, floodwalls, dikes and weirs and reservoirs engineered to tame the great rivers and its tributaries for human uses.
