Review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Restructured Upper Mississippi-Illinois River Waterway: Feasibility Study.HE6302004-295277 0-309-09133-0 Review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers restructured Upper Mississippi-Illinois River waterway waterway, natural or artificial navigable inland body of water, or system of interconnected bodies of water, used for transportation, may include a lake, river, canal, or any combination of these. ; feasibility study The analysis of a problem to determine if it can be solved effectively. The operational (will it work?), economical (costs and benefits) and technical (can it be built?) aspects are part of the study. Results of the study determine whether the solution should be implemented. . Title main entry. Ed. by National Research Council (U.S.). Committee to Review the Corps of Engineers Restructured Upper Mississippi Mississippi, state, United States Mississippi (mĭs'əsĭp`ē), one of the Deep South states of the United States.

The Army Corps of Engineers has been working on resolving this very large and complicated problem for some time, and this preliminary review by a committee in the National Research council includes recommendations on how the Corps of Engineers should proceed in developing modular spatial price models, managing waterway congestion, integrating systems planning to consider environmental issues, and creating funding. One recommendation is that the Corps of Engineers should extend their schedule to meet these concerns. |
