Abstract/Additional Information
In September 1940, the Mississippi River Commission initiated a general study of the phenomena of underseepage and its control along Lower Mississippi River levees. This study was prompted by the occurrence of heavy underseepage and sand boils along numerous reaches of these levees during the 1937 flood.
