Abstract
Aggravated by wide variations of hydrographic and physiographic elements, the problem of bank stabilization on the Lower Mississippi River has been found to be extremely complex. Since the problem is primarily one of arresting bank recession, revetment is the principal type of structure employed; dikes, retards, and groins are installed to a lesser extent depending on the particular situation encountered. These bank protection structures have been developed by theory and experience since the early 1880's. For the most part, the details of their design are peculiar to the lower river alone. The protection of the banks is progressing in a systematic manner, with a view to modifying the primitve stream artificially for the purpose of securing effective flood control and navigation.
