Excerpt from Floods and Flood Protection: References to Books and Magazine Articles, Reprinted From the Monthly Bulletin, July 1908

Floods and Flood Protection This list on floods has been compiled at the suggestion of the Flood Commission of the Chamber of Commerce of Pittsburgh, to form a guide to the printed matter available on the subject. It covers practically all the useful material in this Library at the present time. In its compilation the selection has been restricted closely to the subject indicated by the title. It does not include articles on dams, reservoir construction, river hydraulics, river improvements for purposes of navigation, land reclamation or irrigation, except when specific reference is made to flood abatement.

The following abbreviations have been used:

diag. diagrams.
dr. drawings.
ed. edition.
ill. illustrations.
n.s. new series.
no. number.
p. page or pages.
