- W102448800 abstract "In a very portentous sense the solution of our water problems is essential to national survival. Recurring droughts and dust storms bear witness to the truth of this statement. Speaking in terms of generations only and a very few at that unless the depletion and erosion of our soils, everywhere detectable, is stopped, one more spectacular and promising episode in the life of the race will have run its course. Removed as so much of its area is from oceans and other large bodies of water, and with its agriculture and climate what they are, the United States of America is not a permanent country in the sense that those of North Europe are permanent.1 The hydrologie cycle (figure 1) is the name we have given to the series of phenomena through which water evaporated from the lands and oceans manoeuvers above, on and below the surface of the land before being absorbed back into the vast reservoirs from whence it came. And the manner in which we adjust our civilization to this sequence of events can spell either prosperity or decay. My theme today is our responsibility for the use and control of water wherever it may be. This responsibility lies almost wholly at the door of the engineering profession. One of America's great teachers Shaler of Harvard once said of the soil: It is now a question whether human culture, which rests upon the use of the soil, can devise and enforce ways of dealing with the earth which will preserve this source of life so that it may support the men of the ages to come. If this cannot be done we must look forward to the time remote it may be, yet clearly discernible when our kind, having wasted its great inheritance, will fade from the earth because of the ruin it has accomplished. 2 This had about as much interest for us as has the diplococcus or" @default.
