Water Resources Development: The Work of the United States Corps of Engineers in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts 1993. 1993. 91 pp. (3 Books)

The Corps of Engineers was formed some 218 years ago to be responsive to the needs of a young nation. And while the nature of their work has changed with time, their basic purpose remains - to be responsive to America’s needs. These three booklets present brief descriptions of water resources projects completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire as of 1993. Each booklet describes the role of the Corps in planning and building water resource improvements and explains the procedure leading to the authorization of such projects. The material in these resources are arranged according to the type of project, i.e. flood damage reduction, navigation, or shore and bank protection. These documents also present the work of the Corps according to to the community in which they were executed, and provide two maps, one showing the location of all Corps projects in the state, and the other delineating Corps’ projects on the coastlines of Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, respectively. Each state is considered completely individual for its own booklet.
