Inland waterway plans and Great Lakes debate over water diversion
A broad review outlines Secretary Hoover's Chicago address on an inland waterway system from Chicago to New Orleans and Pittsburgh to Kansas City, with Great Lakes waterway debates, court cases over Lake Michigan diversions, and the war and naval study of multi-national river and lake projects. It notes hearings, protests, and policy shifts as U.S. officials weigh riverine routes and lake levels amid federal involvement.
