Book Synopsis The Kentucky River Navigation by : Mary Verhoeff
Download or read book The Kentucky River Navigation written by Mary Verhoeff. This book was released on 1917. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the Southern Appalachians the topography of the river basins is so closely related to the economic life of the people that the geographer and geologist, the historian and sociologist find here a meeting round. To all of them, there is offered a vast, unexploited field for intensive investigation. The Kentucky River is in many respects a typical stream of the region. It is of national significance in that the United States Government has expended large sums for its improvement, and must provide for the maintenance of the slack-water system now almost completed.

Book Synopsis Kentucky River and Tributaries. Upper Kentucky River Navigation Project. Volume 1. Main Report by : ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT LOUISVILLE KY.
Download or read book Kentucky River and Tributaries. Upper Kentucky River Navigation Project. Volume 1. Main Report written by ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT LOUISVILLE KY.. This book was released on 1980. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of the Upper Kentucky River locks is limited to recreation boating, which has declined approximately 50 percent over the period, 1970-1978. Economic analysis indicates that continued operation of Locks and Dams 5-14 does not appear to be justified. From a sociopolitical viewpoint, the project at present benefits 13 communities (324,000 people) for municipal and industrial water supply; benefits 590,000 people per year for recreation and boating; benefits 1,500 per year through hydroelectric power. The local and state support for continuation of locking and other project functions is extremely strong, emotional and vocal. Cessation of locking would adversely affect the regional economy in terms of 17 lost part-time and full-time job opportunities and $180,000 loss in direct income and wages. It is recommended that the Upper Kentucky River (Locks 5-14) remain open for the interim period 1981 through 1985 pending completion of a more comprehensive basinwide study. (Author).
